Within the last several years, FCC authorized "Family Radio

Unless you are outside cellphone coverage, what's the point?

Just use cell phones. WTs are just one more PITA piece of portable
electronics to lug around. My camera, cell phone, and walkman are enough.

I recently dropped the mp3 player and also the camera for most occasions
because my phone can do that. It actually has a pretty decent 5 Mega
pixel camera with the only shortcoming being lack of zoom.

Cell phone's all have awful optics and I would only consider using
a cell phone camera if there was no other choice. Cell phone mp3 players
aren't much better. I know few cell phone's with an 80G drive.

I am quite impressed with the quality of the camera on my current phone.
It has decent low light capability, AF, panoramic stitching. The only
real thing it lacks is a long lens.

My phone has 24 Gb of memory. Since I have a 4 Gb mp3 player it really
isn't any sort of handicap. The main point is I don't need to put my
batbelt on if I don't want to and still have acceptable capabilities.
