One day I was the asshole who answered the phone in the middle of a transaction, it was my bf who I told I would call right back. It was at a cell phone store, too.

heh... since you didn't quote any specific portion of the above conversation, i wasn't sure whether you were speaking literally or making a sexual allusion. All the more hilarious to have one's boyfriend calling if it was the latter.

How's that old joke go? "What's a guaranteed way to make your spouse howl when you're making love? Call them up and tell them who you're with."

I have a crackberry so it's on 24/7/365.
Sleeping it goes to Phone Only mode,
Movies, vibrate
Sex, I'm married so that went out the window.
Restaurant, vibrate

I was thinking the same thing! It forced me to recall a certain time period in my life when I instructed my would be suiters that if the phone rang, I had to ANSWER. No matter what. And I did....Man I was an ahole. I was tied to my phone, sms, calls, emails, IM. I was paid WAY too little to answer the phone in the midst of passionate throws but The sex was dull anyway. :-P

I've grown since then and updated ALL my equipment. wink wink, nudge nudge, hint hint, get it squire.

As do I, I think they were intended to always be on, its an extra 12 steps to power the thing off. I think I have turned my phone *off* OFF all of 4 times since I have had it. I am a crackberry lover though, I don't regret parting ways with the MDA, HTC, Sidekick, Etc. I love my pearl.

I disagree and I have my pearl programmed to shut down every night at 2300 (11 PM for your that can't count to 24) and turn on at 0600 Monday - Friday and at 0800 Saturday and Sunday.

I also have it set so that email only from my boss, my bosses executive admin, and the two guys that work for me are the only emails that cause it to vibrate.

I did way to many years in operations waking up the in the middle of the night to the sound of a phone or pager to do that all over again. If somebody wants me, they get me on my terms, not theirs.

Over 10 is possible for mods ]:>

I'll make your poll because you started this topic, and I don't want to abuse any of my authority, oh yeah, and it is great having you on the forums. :-)

It will just take a little time to build it and try to diagnose the problem encountered, snd see if there is a solution.

Sorry about the delay. It took me a while to get around to this.
