Does anyone here still use a pager and like it? I think I might get one.

why use a pager when you can use a Blackberry 8350I :P
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I've got the 8830. But i only use it as an mp3 player/organizer. I'm a skype user but I'd like to know when someone is calling me with something urgent.

Some secure facilities allow pagers, but not cell phones b/c pagers can't record.

Pager eh?

New version of the Pager for me is E-mail. I'll get the messages when I am ready and not a dern moment before then.

5 personal e-mail accounts. Mostly used to signup for short term games online.

I have a pager but the service has long been discontinued. As far as I know it still works but it hasn't had a battery in it in a long long time.

:P

This is my \"new\" pager. I carry this thing all over, I love it. My calendar, Gmail, Exchange email, and the web everywhere.

I toyed with one at a sprint store. It seemed to be pretty responsive with the touch screen and the UI looked creative, but I wasn't sure if I would like a long term relationship with it.
