Has anyone tried the proboards mobile phone app? I've been playing with the Android version and it looks like a nice clean interface. I posted this from it.
What's news is not in their directory, so you have to manually add the forum to your my forums list. Once you've done that you're good to go.
There is an iphone app (of course). I assume it works the same.

That is true....I keep thinking my phone will die, start acting up or otherwise become not particularly useful and I would make the change - but who knew I would pick the most long-lasting, indestructible phone ever all those years ago  |

I still have a phone I have been using for some 5 years but am going to upgrade to the Blackberry Curve in a couple weeks. I just purchased that phone for my granddaughter this past Thursday and after watching her do all sorts of things with it, I am going to go for one like that also. I have a phone called a Razor now and I really love it but I think it's time to upgrade since they have even quit making the one I have.

A simple cordless works for us and we don't plan to change anytime soon. It does what we want so why change?

Me too. The cordless works fine. I do have a cell phone. I keep it in my purse for emergencies and I keep a charger in the car and one at home. I never turn it on unless I'm making a call or expecting someone to call me while I'm in the car. It was very useful when my husband was in the hospital before his death and I was so glad I had it then.
But I cannot imagine being one of those people who always has a phone to their ear and is constantly talking to someone. I even hear women talking when we're in the restroom at work (first time that happened I thought the woman was talking to me through the stall wall but none of what she said made sense and then she paused and I realized she was on her cell phone.) I actually don't want to be that "connected" all the time.

I did it for the hell of it; because I wanted one, rather than need one. I think Pax posted something a while ago about technology obsolescence moving too quickly. That's probably true, but if you only view technology in a utilitarian sense, that won't bother you. I'm buying the new stuff because it is fun, not because I need to keep up or rely on its new features. |

Yes, ws - that does seem to be the only good reason to buy new stuff. Just for the hell of it.
My "cavemate" at work (we two have our cubicles in a re-fitted focus group viewing room so it's a bit dark and cavelike except right at our desks) bought an iphone when they first came out and had a lot of fun just playing with the cool things it can do. I was most impressed that he could turn it into a light saber, with true-to-life sound effects that sounded when he moved it around just like the ones in Star Wars.
