I have Cingular and have had no problems. I hate my cell phone. It is an invasion of my privacy. But it came close to saving my life this past winter when I left work mid-blizzard to find my car battery dead. Called AAA and was up and running within 15 minutes. Without the phone I would have spent a very uncomfortable night though I had my winter emergency kit.
Sorcha has a point. I do not see the need to talk non-stop on the thing. Everywhere you go people are walking, driving, doing whatrever and talking on the cell about what Joan wore to the party and the boss's latest goof-up. Totally unnecessary crap. But they can.
They can as long they don't involve me in an accident or cause me to run them over when they walk stupidly into my path without warning. Mostly I hate the shouted conversations.
Reminds me - mine is dead again. Have to charge it or it doesn't work. Another drawback.
