Been there, done that as well, back up in the mountains of Colorado................

The farther back in the country away from people the better..........

The internet is the only contact I have with people these days, and it's pretty nice that way.

I only got a mobile phone last year and that because my wife made me get one.
At that its a crappy second hand one.
Mobile phones actually give me the "tom tits'(shits)
IMHO mobiles are the source of rudeness from heaps of people,
As a nurse in a ER I have had people answer their phones during interviews and examinations, usually whilst sitting under a no phone sign.

4 phones (including the current one) for the past 7 years. that makes it an average of 2 years per phone. But only change them when the previous one decided to 'die' one me.

Yeah phones should be used only 4 talking but now-a-days many people just buy premium phones just to show off.In my opinion if u r buying a 2/3 MP camera phone by paying a hefty premium only to take picture,why r not u buying a Digicam for that coz that will serve the task much better than the Mobile camera.I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson S700i & no plans to change it unless it gets stolen or spoilt.

It's for convenience...I don't know about you but I would rather carry a phone around that can play music + take pictures, instead of carrying a basic phone plus a DAP and a camera.
Of course the quality will not be as good as a standalone camera (or DAP) but its a trade-off and you have the benefit of having that capability wherever you go (as long as the phone is with you).
