No problem....just buy it with the credit card in the picture. Mr. or Ms. Name really want you to have one otherwise they wouldn't have posted a picture of their credit card on the intarnets.

Motorola Q? Been reading reviews on it though and they appear to be very mixed.

I tried the PPC-6700 (Sprint phone, slider, qwerty, etc) and I am SOOO NOT impressed with the WM5 operating system. It's just as buggy as any of the other Windows Mobile OS's... If it were running ANY other OS, I'd be open to the possibility. Great lookin' phone, but I'll pass.

Argh. Didn't want to hear that about WM5. Been recently dealing with a whole slew of bugs on my Treo that actually had me considering a WM based device for my next phone.
Screw it....I might just ditch the mobile email and get a Razr. This would of course lead to a work-issued Blackberry. There seriously is NO escape anymore.

Nope! The job I just started is the first one in ~8 years that I have not had to carry some sort of homing device...

They don't even have your cell number?

They do, but it's only to say "Hey, want to go out for beers?"

I have a company issued cell, but it's a Nextel so it really isn't a tracking device. more like a mobile answering machine.
I'd love to have a cool cell with all the bells/whistles but I just don't use it enough to make it worth the cash outlay. and I get to make all the free calls I want on the company plan.

In looking for an old thread about interactive displays I came across this thread ... and decided to check out the phone one more time.
Looks like they've dropped the price down to a mere $500.00. Is it worth it now?

how about ScottyNO?

I'm still looking for a phone, but probably won't buy one until the situation is forced.

I've got the Verizon Rzr (the orginal issue) and I've been going through two batteries a day. Not a battery and a re-charge, but two separate batteries. It's inconvenient to say the least.
