Question about new crop of Cellphones
😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
Hey all, this is my first post and I need teh opinion of all you hardcore V710 followers.
I recently got a job where I have to leave any camera phones and recording devices in my car. I'm looking very much toward the V710 as something I would love, but only use it the 4 hrs when I'm out of work, and on weekends. To me, it seems rather harsh, as I have an obsession in keeping a cellphone close to me at all times. Secondly, I *love* verizon. Finally, I currently have the SPH-i700 which I think I must let go. Its just unreasonable to have a PDA phone when you can't bring it into work. 😛
Are there any good quality phones which do *NOT* feature a camera? I've had crappy

I have a job like that too. They just made the rule recently with all the camera phone paranoia. I noticed that there was never a policy about camera-PDAs even though they have been around longer. It's all just stupid hype. The real concern is leaking proprietary info from the company, but there are many other more convenient ways to do that, like say a CD, floppy, or PDA for instance? Maybe one of those USB drives on your keychain - they haven't banned those yet ?! At some point you have to trust your employees to be able to bring in a PDA type device without misusing it.

My problem is that its for a gov't contract. So if I *forget* and they catch me, I'm fired. 😲

Don't assume too much about government contraccts. I just finished on a $450Million government contract and in general there is nothing special about working on them that should prevent you from having a pda or cell phone with a camera. The only problem you may run into is if there is classified content, but you can't get to that by accident. If you do "leak" classified content you have alot more to worry about than just your job, we're talking federal prosecution. Not to worry though, classified stuff is required to be locked up in a secure facility. Unless your entire workplace is a 'secure facility' I'd say you have room to challenge the no phones rule.
Of course, I would never encourage someone to knowingly break thier company rules....

yup, entire workspace is classified. looks like I'll be leaving my beautiful V710 in the car. =(

I'm wondering if you could clearly ruin the camera part of the phone so that there's no question that it cannot be used. I'm thinking probably cracking the lens and dripping solder on the CCD image element would do the trick.
