OT: Am I the only one who doesn’t have a cell phone?

[briansd1]

Here is the cell phone penetration rate by country.

My theory is that Americans have fat fingers which make it difficult to use the cell phone. Canadians are just cheap.

The other countries below the USA are simply poor, but they will catch up in penetration rate soon enough.

I have one… They don’t work if too well if they don’t make a battery for your phone. Otherwise, you have to plug in the usb like adapter , which defeats the purpose of inductive charging devices.

This is so funny! In my case it just so happened that Verizon – with otherwise excellent service – had a dead zone in La Jolla where I work – so I couldn’t get reception. Not only that, but if I didn’t turn my phone off when I got into work, it would discharge before the end of the day – and I didn’t have my charger with me. very frustrating. So I had to switch to At&T after a year.

[quote=UCGal]Scarlett – I have kids… The phone number I have as the first contact is my desk landline. I rarely take my cell phone into meetings – unless it’s a conference room without a clock.

Actually – I use my cell more as a clock/watch than I do as a phone. Not worth the money since I should go buy a cheap watch.[/quote]

LOL… I forgot the use of the cell phone as a watch! Since my daughter broke my watch I used my cell as watch! more than as a phone! I am away from my desk long enough and often enough during the day, hours sometimes, so for me cell as emergency contact for kids felt better…
