    I have been PCD free for about 4 years. It was amazing how my stress / anxiety level went down the day I accidentally left my phone at home. No bills, no hassle, no interruptions. F%&k ’em, phone ’em back is my mantra. Not having a blackberry / phone all the time is probably one of the most rebellious things I’ve ever done.

      Fellow rebel here. My theory: I am not paid for 24 hours per day therefore I am not at your disposal for 24 hours per day, neither am I self employed, or an emergency room doctor, and there is no reason I need to be called by someone when I am buying broccoli. I do not have children who need me 24 hours a day so I’m with you Sean, leave me a message, there are machines at home or work, and I will call you at my convenience. What a concept! And yes, no cell bills and keeping track of the thing as an added bonus.

    My brilliant idea was to make a Star Trek like shock collar linked to one’s smart phone , wallet, car keys,etc. such that if one went more than 50 meters distance from the item -ZAPP! ( although a simple “beep beep” might be more marketable.
    Sadly, I went into law and not engineering ( and didn’t do well at all in IP either). Surprised nobody’s come up with a ring or bracelet to do that yet

    The Q10 is lovely, and great for those who need a keyboard.

    Otherwise… well, the iPhone simply outclasses it for apps and Android outclasses it for customizability, so…

      Yeah, its amazing how well the FBI, NSA and RCMP can customize Android without you even knowing it.

        The code is open source. Point it out in the Rom and I’ll confirm it.

          I should have been more specific, I didn’t mean they necessarily, literally, customize Android (they don’t need to), just that those agencies hack into Android phones to spy on you. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323997004578641993388259674.html

          The Stasi would be absolutely green with envy at the modern security state that’s been erected behind various phoney democracies.

        Best to assume everything is being monitored, everywhere.

        Can only be sure the phone isn’t monitoring you when you pull the battery — and some may have backup power sources even then.

        That’s life in the internet age. Even if we succeed in getting our own governments to stop it (in the Anglosphere five — Canada, US, Oz, NZ, UK), other governments will continue to do it, for economic or political reasons.
