I don't talk all that much on the phone - and when I do, it's mostly from home. Since (unlike you!) I don't travel much, I used my old mobile mostly for 'emergencies' - and text messages with a few friends. I'm already using my new smartphone a lot more, even at home, because I can also use it to check emails etc.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-14834230065050273042011-08-05T10:37:24.383+01:002011-08-05T10:37:24.383+01:00Jaz, as you see I'm happy to admit it.

Last step too!!<br /><br />Lisa, I am biologically incapable of not answering a phone although I have cured myself to the extent that I don't answer it when in the car or when it would be unacceptable in company.<br /><br />Norma I'm so glad I'm not aloone.<br /><br />Fiona, I always saw you as a techno-communico soulmate!<br /><br />CJ, I've never understood how you could be a product of your Mother and be phonophobic!<br /><br />Jenny it's good to see you here. I still love the spoken word too much to indulge in such antics - apart from anything else it's a much slower form of communication. As I live far apart from many of my friends who are either in other parts of the country I'm living in at the time or on the other side of the world the phone is my lifeline.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-34436159969810147952011-08-05T09:27:22.494+01:002011-08-05T09:27:22.494+01:00The crucial point is whether you have ever texted ...The crucial point is whether you have ever texted someone who is sitting in the loo next door.

So, of course, I have basket of magazines by each toilet. Indeed, no time wasted there! I've been known to also read my current book, paperbacks only... :)<br />As for the phone, I don't have a smartphone, but my son does. So whenever we're talking and I ask a question, "off to the races" on his Droid.
