Well we often do as much (the brick for a few minutes a day) with our
laptops. :) Though I think the cellular industry by and large is
really missing that "happy medium". I think the Motorola I have is in
that happy medium vicinity -- most of them are just way too small
imho. As for Dick Tracy, yellow rubbers asside, I got out of the
habbit of wearing a watch a few years ago and at this point I think
it's one habbit I'd prefer not to get back into. :)
Though I found that I can't use the plastic belt-clip for the
Motorola. If I get something for it it's got to be the leather case
that encloses it completely (at which point I think I prefer my
regular pockets), 'cause my new car, nice as it is, is pretty small,
and when I have the phone on a plastic clip it either interferese with
my seatbelt, or I snap the clip in half when I sit down in the
driver's seat. Good thing they're cheap.
