Unfortunantly, it is status quo to have a cellular phone now days. Hell, I'm halfway across the world and I still have my phone. It has no service but it makes a great alarm clock. My phone now is my computer and a wireless connection

However, once I get back to the States, my phone will be reactivated. I hate that phone. It gets crap signal everywhere...except here where it has full bars. It's crazy.

I agree. You don't need the bells and whistles if you don't want them. I do have a camera phone but that's the only whistle. Though you should tell me where you found a phone that had a personal shoeshine boy...
