I had my phone stolen in the early stages of a three week conference tour in Europe. Since I was anyway on the road, I decided to wait until getting back to Finland before getting a new handset. That was a very relaxed couple of weeks. And surprisingly, people were willing to agree on time and place to meet, and kept to those because I didn't have a phone. Much less hassle and calendar tennis this way. Unfortunately the realities of running a business forced me to get a phone after the trip.
