I finally broke down and had to get one when I was driving for DHL. Can't say I love or hate them. I really hate them somedays, but on some occasions they're dead handy. Not to mention that since i moved 600+ miles away from home, my only contact with my friends and family back home is through verizon. I can go to the beach and not worry that I'll miss a call from someone and not get to talk to them for a fuckin week.
