    I have the same problem. Lately I've taken to writing notes on my phone. It's handy when I don't have a pen and paper.

    Unless I'm working, I seldom have my phone with me.
    I'm rather old-fashioned that way.
    I have never understood people who have to have it in their hand at
    all times.

    When I'm away from home, I have my phone with me, and on... but it's
    generally in my pocket... and mostly for emergency or necessity, not for nattering on all the time...

    I see people driving and talking on the phone (which is illegal in
    WV) and even trying to park while still holding it to their ear. I
    always think "put it down, park, then talk".

    It's illegal here in NYS as well... at least hand-held... It's legal to
    have it coming through the speakers, with a bluetooth device... But I've
    never set that sort of thing up, and am not likely to... even that can
    be distracting from driving safely....

    Also good for checking the weather!

    I do use mine at times to check the weather, the mail, etc. Again, usually at work.

    Mine doesn't even have the capability to have apps, let alone have
    those... ;)

    ... Lead me not into temptation, I can find my own way.
