>I just carry two phones This. I actually gave up my smart phone a year ago. I've been with a feature phone (Nokia 3310) for a full year. Office-mates can't believe that I don't check my e-mail on the go. My position at work is this: "Given that I'm at my workstation 85% of my day, if I'm important enough to need to check e-mail 'on the go' or outside of work, I'm important enough for the company to get me a second phone - one dedicated to work and work only."

> if I'm important enough to need to check e-mail 'on the go' or outside of work, I'm important enough for the company to get me a second phone Quite. Though there is something to be said for the raw network effects of "everyone gets an iphone with email, calendar and instant messaging". >if I'm important enough to need to check e-mail 'on the go' or outside of work Depends on the role & type of work more than "being important" I think. I can't imagine performing my current role without 24/7 access to be honest. Emphasis on access...very different to expectation of checking it 24/7. On most of my long vacations I actually take my work laptop with me...but with a out of office on. If there is a fire I'll jump in...if there is just smoke...well clearly I'm out of office.
