speaking of cell phones, i just saw a news broadcast of richard branson announcing the start of virgin mobile canada, which hopefully should create some competition against telus, rogers, and bell ... i dunno about you, but i can't live w/o my cell phone, it's sadly a part of my everyday life, and i can't go back to my highschool days of carrying around a pager and having to run to a payphone all the time, so if you can phase your cell phone out of your life, kudos to you

Word.

It doesn't, actually.

The problem with cell phone usage during driving is a matter of attention, which a heads set does not resolve.

I can't wait for some more competition, what the is up with the new contract, thank God I renewed my old contract, now its 3 year contract to get a half decent priced phone, and on top evenings start at 8 and there is no per second billing(from Rogers).

smaller companies like fido and clearnet are not so small no more ever since they got bought out by rogers and telus, especially now that they have a huge loyal customer base which allows them to screw you over with expensive rate plans and options like billing by the minute or evenings starting at 8.

i sure hope virgin mobile offers great service and rates so that greedy companies like telus lose a wad of customers ... i know i'd switch in a heartbeat if the price was right

NOTORIOUS VR will become famous soon enough
I like my cell phone, but if it's out of service, dead, or whatever... i could care less... i have a voicemail box, and if it's important they'll leave a message and i'll call back later...

but i'll never get rid of it...

as for the head set deal.. not bad... but considering u can get headsets @ princess auto for quite a few cell phone for like $3, or a generic brand for $15 at cell phone shops, it's not that big of a deal.

The sad thing is, I have a bluetooth headset (best thing ever) waiting to be used again... I just need another bluetooth phone again... my last one died on me (POS Motorola).
