You can always stick your phone on silent or redirect calls if you like and then you'd have a useful device on you that you could use:
* As a compass * To see where the public footpaths were * To identify mushrooms * To identify birds * To identify trees from their leaves * To identify wild flowers an orchids * To ring the local farmer if you should find one of his cows has fallen into the river * To use as a torch when it gets dark * To tell you what time it will get dark * To identity the various constellations once it is dark * To find and dwellings near you when you get lost in the dark * To map and measure the size of a field At one time or another I've used my iPhone for all of these things and I frequently use it to identify things (for the last few days mostly edible mushrooms) I spend a lot of time outside as I live in the middle of the countryside. It has made my outdoor experiences much richer, not to mention safer. To forgo the benefits of a smart phone incase you get an junk call (which are anyway easy avoided) seems a little strange. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ModelCitizen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96877 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
