Another thread about Facebook got me thinking.

I got my first cell phone in '99. It was from work and at the time I did not have a personal cell phone. In '07 I divorced and just plugged along with 1 phone. About a year ago, I did a gut check and admitted I was using my work phone for too many personal reasons and got an Android for personal use. Started migrating contacts, etc...
The personal phone stays in my vehicle most of the work day and my work phone stays home in the evenings if go anyplace.

When someone in their 20's sees me with 2 phones, not much is said. If anything, I'm asked about the functionality of both and the reasoning for 2. Their comments are more along the lines of "Hmm, 2 phones? Interesting, why not 1? Oh, one is personal, got it."

On the flip, the older folks ( 45+ ) seems more "Ugh, you have 2 phones!? Why in the world would you possibly want or need 2 phones?" After I explain why, their eyes are usually glassed over, unable to see the validity.

I kind of see it like FB and "Personal Technology", in general. Get on or get left behind. I'm not saying left behind is bad, but if a person makes that choice, don't gripe about it.

Answer the poll and explain your stance.

Personal is a Samsung Epic Android. Love it, easy, great display, intuitive functions, et al. Poor battery life, but I manage.

My work brick is a Blackberry Storm2. Hate it. Sketchy screen, poor phone functions, difficult to manage data on the device ( it has the laptop interface that makes it ok, though )

What say you?
