Ring x8 cellular phone
I bought my first cell phone when I was attending school at Chiba University in 1997. It was, for the time, pretty sleek - a clamshell style phone with a decently large screen.
When I got back to the U.S., and started school again, I found that I missed being able to call people whenever the hell I felt like it, instead of having to look for a pay phone or whatever.
So I bit the bullet, and dropped a fair amount of cash for my second cell phone. It saw a LOT of use, and when I decided to upgrade, my father took it for his phone.
I am now on my seventh cell phone. It’s a Cingular 8525 (a rebranded HTC Hermes), which is a combination of cell phone and PDA. It’s become a major part of my life, and I really find it helpful. I use it for fun stuff, I use it to communicate, and I use it for work (both office and personal). My phone has become a part of my brain.
It’s not perfect, though I’ve yet to run into a device that is. But it does everything I need, for the most part.
I sometimes find myself wondering what would happen if my cell phone was taken away and I was kept from getting another one. One friend joked that I would vanish, and another said that the world would stop spinning.
Either way, kind of frightening.

one thing for sure, you’d forget a lot of things, maybe even to breathe! :p
