Hazards of primarily using a cell phone

May 11th, 2004

Well, I’ve done it now. I went out of town for the weekend and left my cell phone charger. I am not sure why I even took it, my phone has good battery life and I can easily get a three day weekend with normal use out of a single charge. Now it will be friday before I get my charger back and my poor measly charge up will have to last a whole week. I’ve done it before, but I hope no one talkative calls me.

The only other time that I have regretted using a cell phone as my primary phone is when trying to make international calls. Sprint doesn’t seem to want to make it easy to place international calls from my cell phone. There must be a lot of fraud with that.

I logged on to the SprintPCS website to check my bill. It took about 5 minutes to login and then the account page renders in an unusable way using Mac IE 5. I wonder if the customer account pages were included in their touted standards based redesign?

It looks like they’ve switched to a struts based forum for developers, too.
