I can understand that, for most people it's the wrong type of phone. I will 
probably add a shirt pocket phone to my account this summer. I can have up to 
3 phones with the same number and plan. The first one is an extra 17 bucks a 
month. There are a lot of times when I wish I had a shirt pocket phone but 
there are quite a few times too when they just won't cut it, I don't like 
dropped calls and I don't like to annoy the people who I'm talking to with 
less than a full quieting signal.
If I get a shirt pocket phone, will look for an Oki, I like the feel of them 
and I've used a few before, worked pretty well. I've got a few Motorola 
bricks, the old 8000s, and I've got a uniden 5500 as well as I'm pretty sure 
I've got a Motorola flop phone laying around somewhere I could use.
Some of the new phones are really small, Sony has got a tiny one, I'd be 
afraid that I'd lose the dumb thing :)
Different people require different types of phones. I'm looking forward to 
Sprint coming into this market, will be interesting to see how their CDMA 
network performs. Bell Atlantic should roll out their CDMA system soon, will 
be fun to try that too. Maybe we'll switch our BA phone over to a CDMA one.
Thanks for the reply.
BTW, just curious, how many minnutes a month do you normally put on your 
phone?
