You're all about the substance than the flash. Chances are you've got a schedule to keep, and you don't need hassles in your way. Not one for overly risky ventures, you probably prefer the tried and true. There's something nice about predictability and knowing what you can count on and what to be prepared for.

To you, time should be spent with people and on doing the things you want to do, more than the way in which you do it. And you want a phone for talking to people you care about.

So whether you're on your way to work, picking up a friend for dinner, or making plans to save the world, you want reliability - a device that you can depend on to get the job done.

You don't need all the bells and whistles, and just want something that you can count on to work. A phone is a way to communicate with friends and family. If you wanted a camera, radio, or organizer with it, you probably would have already bought one. Concentrate on finding a device with an external antenna. And without all the gadgets and accessories, you can focus on what really matters, reception.
