I've just been reading this article on the BBC website

Six months without my mobile
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3675656.stm

and it occurred to me that I would hate the feeling not to have my mobile with me. I'm sure I started hyperventilating when I took my phone in for a firmware upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I don't sleep with it but I wouldn't like it far away.

I was just wondering if it's just me.

How long have you ever gone with your mobile?

If i didn't have mine, I'd need to carry a gameboy and an MP3/Video jukebox around with me else I'd probably go insane. Other than that, I'm sure I could live just fine without people nagging =)

Well personally (being 34 this year) I would hope to live at least another 50 years even wothout my mobile .

Or maybe the scientists are wrong and the radiation from the phone is actually a new way to boost my life force so with a mobile I could live another 60 or 70 years .

Of course my social & work life would go downhill, but maybe compensated by less stress so I would live longer ? .

Relax people, its just an annoying, ringing, radiation device .

Once, years ago, I forgot my Nortel on a bus and I had to wait 2 weeks for a replacement. The same thing happened to my Nk7110, but this time it was on a train. Besides losing all my phone numbers, it also drastically changes your social life. I've been out without my phone recently, it wasn't too bad because I was with my brother who had most of the numbers that I needed.

When i took my p900 for repairs i lasted a week and half and had to go buy another until the p900 returned. I'm never without a phone these days. It's also useful when i'm out at night. Beats carrying a pen and paper.
