I'm sure that information will be a great comfort to the family you cream as you slam into them while trying to open your phone list.

No, he said he was on call. Doesn't that mean that people are calling him?

No, I'm a prank-caller for Howard Stern. I call people all day and go "BABA BOOEY!"

1) All the numbers I use regularly are on speed dial, I hit their assigned number, hit call
2) If its not a commonly used number I hold down the # that has the letter their name begins with (i.e. 2=ABC) then scroll to their name, call
3) I get to my phone book by hitting down (I don't remember whether I had to assign that function)
4) To text I hit up first (I do remember assigning that function but it wasn't difficult, read no manual) and the camera I hit left
5) I dial, talk, and, yes, text while driving, I don't have to look at my phone
6) I drive a standard and have never had a close call or wreck b/c of my phone addiction, but have b/c of other ppl's phone addiction
7) I have voice dialing and bluetooth available but I'm not bothered enough to feel like I need to use those
8) I never ever order food or check out while still continuing a conversation on the phone, that's just rude

Nizoral works really well for that. Way better than Head & Shoulders.

That's the cell that I have, it was one of the cheapest phones at verizon, but still has a camera and blue tooth and all that fancy crap. It came programed so that the button I circled in red goes to your text messages, and the button I circled in blue goes to your contact list. I don't remember what the arrow keys original functions were, because I reprogrammed them all..now one is my calender, one is my alarm, one is my photos, and one is um...something else that I apparently don't use very much. I use my phone as a watch/alarm clock more than anything, because actual watches usually pinch my wrist, and hardly anyone calls me.

But I guess I'm a neanderthal too, cause I usually dial my numbers anyway.

I saw this in Parade magazine in last Sunday's paper. The perfect thing for Flint. :D

I'm not going to comment on the demographic that is aimed at, and how Jitterbug knows that if you are reading an actual newspaper printed on paper, you are a member of that demographic.

Makes me feel old just thinking about it.
