I transitioned from a cell to satellite phone over two        D> years ago. I sms/mms with a mobile PDA called 'Gemini.'              I did not realize that the Gemini is so recent! That one is a nice        combination smartphone+keyboard. I like it.              But I can't think of such spending right now.              Which model do you have? Did you order yours from the UK, or did you find        a domestic seller in your USA?              Their top model with the extensive network features looks to be designed        for the frequent glob-trotter. Probably overkill for a domestic like me.                      D> If someone wants to reach me by voice they have my landline.              Same here. My Blackberry is activated as a phone primarily because I only        use it to access internet via the data services, but no one knows the        phone number.              I only "open" my landline to calls from 7p-9p only. Ringer is off the rest        of the time. I just grew tired of picking up the phone for the bogus spam        calls and surveys.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: [special text for this echo only via oxp's /S edit] (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/5 15/0 2 18/0 19/36 90/1 104/115 106/201 114/224       SEEN-BY: 114/702 705 706 116/18 116 120/302 331 340 601 123/0 25 50       SEEN-BY: 123/131 140 150 170 755 128/2 73 187 253 135/300 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 222/2       SEEN-BY: 226/16 30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 664 1014 230/0       SEEN-BY: 230/150 152 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/155 280/5003 282/1031 1056 291/100 111 298/25       SEEN-BY: 300/4 305/1 3 310/2 312/2 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 335/364       SEEN-BY: 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/81 640/1321 712/848 801/161       SEEN-BY: 801/189 2320/105 3005/1 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 4500/1 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5053/58       PATH: 221/1 6 154/10 3634/12 261/38 15/0 317/3 229/426           |
