I looked at the more expensive ones, but the H390 for a final price of
$6 or so was more in my price range.

What is the entry in your phone book? That is what determines wqhat it

AT&T's Voice Dial service allows the use of aliases or nicknames. You
enter the full name and number, and a nickname if you use one. So, when
I want to call my mom on her cell phone, I say: "Call Mom, wireless",
and Voice Dial replies back: "Calling Virginia McAllister, wireless
phone."

So there! <G>

(I must admit that my younger daughter says she doesn't want to

text me

because I am turning in to a "texting whore" <GG>)

I actually had to upgrade my account to accommodate more texting. I'm so anti-texting it's not funny - yet people seem to still want to converse with me that way.

One of the reasons I got a messaging phone... I was tired of paying for those texts when people refused to do otherwise, not to mention trying
to type a response using that silly phone keypad. Mind you, I suspect
that sometimes, my reply text came out appropriate... you know... ftgy$%G^&$ <GG>

Same-same. The iphone is cool but not that great for texting or
emails, despite its keyboard. I suspect it's ok for girls with slim fingers, but us guys with our sausage fingers just can't get two words out in
legible format.

The funny thing is: we would spend last time if we just spoke on the phone. But...NOOOOOOOO.

True, but I am beginning to see the reason for texting... it is similar
to using an IM app on a computer (or actually, on a phone, since most
of the newer ones come with built in IM)... a way to "converse" almost as in a voice call, but without the immediacy of responding to something
the other person said right now...

I suppose it depends upon who you're talking with. One person I
regularly text with (he initiates it, and hasn't yet figured out there's a reaons I never start these damned text conversations) will, if he doesn't
get a response within a few minutes, send follow up texts wondering
what's wrong. Ugh. Makes me want to hurl the phone across the room.

Actually, I am getting the hang of it, and how to type without getting garbage. It takes practice, and to get that, you have to put up with the frustration of "sausage fingers" until you figure it out...

Not the phone... HIM! So far, I don't have any of that. The few I
currently text with know that sometimes, I will be driving and thus, can't respond. So they wait...
