    i used to use my nokia phone as an alarm clock, until the snooze drove me nuts as it buzzed again after 6 minutes rather than the 9 that my alarm clock-radio does now. that extra 3 minutes is really important when you want to sleep in!

    i've carried a mobile phone almost continuously for the last 8 years. very frightening ...

    Ever get that feeling when you leave the house that you've forgotten something, and it's only when you’re on the bus (or somewhere else inconvenient) that you remember what it is?

    If it's my keys etc... I'm not that worried. My wallet and it's cause for concern.
    My phone, and it's panic stations :)

    My own mobile phone doesn't bother me, it keeps me in the "loop" and does it fairly snazzily.

    Its OTHER people's phones that bother me.. The Nokia SMS sound at max volume in a quiet bus at 11 at night when I'm half asleep, for example..

    definately a love-hate thing. I've had a mobile since about the age of 16 (back in the days of the 088 motorola brick). Like most people, if I leave the house without it I feel incomplete somehow but at the same time every time it rings I hate the thought of answering it because I know it'll probably be someone that I dont want to talk to.
