The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?
From what I've read so far over there, yes. They recommend using a headset or texting, so that the phone's not an inch away from your skull when it's transmitting.
Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!
Sorry.
Oh good lord. That made me think about my whole phone situation, and I realized that I've been texting more than I thought and paying more than I thought! Now I have a plan.
I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?
I love my Android G1. I can use it as a compass! I can check in for flights! I can sync multiple email accounts, use Google Maps to find directions and restaurants near me, surf the internets, add things to my Netflix queue, find movie times... but I admit that I'm biased.
My loathing for using my cellphone may just pay off, though I do have the thing activated and at my hip all through the workday.
Good to know about the G1.
Zen, that's my exact problem with watches (except digital, which I still think are a pretty neat idea).
My FaceBook status updates end up boring because I have to run them through the work-filter and the mom-filter.
I know! And mine are worse because there's also the conservative Christians who are my donors filter.
So pretty much I just post about food. Which I know is lame, but inoffensive.
I am ready for a new cellphone. Plus, my kiddoes have started texting me, so I need something better for that. Plus, my phone cost $5 over five years ago. So I'm probably a little behind technologically.

Hee.

My phone is on the safest list but now I'm worried about the boyfriend and his iPhone! He's on it all day on conference calls. I think he uses a headset though.
Love it Lisah!
Coming out of a long writing snap is always like just waking up after being asleep for a few months. Unanswered emails, my apartment is a total wreck and needs a top to bottom cleaning, and I'm a month late for a dental cleaning.
I don't think I actually have any work people friended on FB, but I try to keep in mind that anything I post has the (minuscule) potential to end up on Gawker or ValleyWag.
This is why I don't have work people friended on FB. Boundaries!
My BB is on the worst list, but I use headphones any time I'm on it for long (conference calls, etc.) so I hope I'm okay.
