Actually, talking to a cell-phone repairer, that is actually a major reason
for mobiles being brought in for repair. They decline ...

I'm a consciencious driver. Last week I was slowly crawling three
blocks from home, looking for a parking spot, with my daughter riding
passenger side. I pulled the phone from my pocket and called my wife
just to tell her I was almost home...and I went right through a red
light. As if it wasn't there. Completely freaked me out.


Studies schmuddies. I don't dial and drive anymore either.
