One of the problems that I see now is that even more people will be inclined to talk on the phone at the gym...

The worst is hearing a phone ring in a restaurant.  Makes me want to throw a fork at someone.

Believe it or not .... at the church I use to attend in Atlanta, a woman's cell phone rang during the service.  She answered it and proceeded to have a conversation.  The minister paused his sermon and announced he would complete it when she finished her call.

Wow.   I'm appalled.    First, the phone should have been put on silent or off.   Second after you get the call, have the decency to walk out to the atrium to have the conversation, and quietly come back in when you are finished.   And turn the phone off after that.

don't all cell phones have voice mail? heve some respect for who's house you are in, and leave it in your car. if the call is that important, we would all pray to you.

I wouldn't answer my phone in church period.    But I also either turn mine completely off, or put the ringer on alarm only which means my phone will not make noise.   All I will get is the number across the screen.

When I was doing dairy service, I would take my phone into church, but only if I was oncall. But that was the same with some of the other gentleman in our congregation. Probably more than half of our deacons worked the county electric co-op. When it was their weekend to be oncall, they would have their phone, but it would be on vibrate. I did the same thing. Then we would walk out of the sanctuary and take the call. It was as simple as that.

It really is amazing what a distraction it is.  Not simply because another sound has competed with the pastor's voice for the split second it took the person to silence the ring tone, but because yer suddenly plagued with lingering thoughts, "Didn't that numbskull JUST hear the pastor say to turn those things off? I can't believe people just don't leave them in the car....etc.....etc.....etc...."

One horrifying Sunday, I must admit, I was the numbskull.  I have my phone set on the loudest telephone "bell" ring possible.  So in case I've left it laying somewhere I can find it when it starts ringing.

I play the drums at our church which are on a platform behind the pulpit.  One time I left my phone on the drum platform...forgetting to turn it off.

Yep...that baby went through the full cycle of loud rings with the pastor looking back once then scanning the congregation.  Then he goes, "Well, Rob must be late for his next gig and their trying to reach him."

Apple has crap for security and the reason there are no virus for it is cause no one has them.... windows it where it's at

Same thing happened to me!  In trying to hit the off button, I answered it.  I heard the friend calling, before I turned off, say "He's put organ music on his voice mail"!

[PigPen]

He put organ music on his voice mail!! That's funny stuff. Ya can't make that up

My cell stays on vibrate at all times.  I hate ringing phones in public.

That being said, I heard on the news this morning that Cisco is suing Apple over the iphone name.  Cisco (whom I'm contracted to) trademarked the name in 2002 for their IP telephones.  I heard that Apple and Cisco had been negotiating for use of the name and the talks stalled.  But thats just rumor.

The 'BlackJack" just went on the back burner for me as well. Hello iPhone

I was planning on getting an iPod anyway, and my Cingular contract is up, so it looks like I'll be killing 2 birds with one stone when I get this.

[frostillicus123]
