I haven't had a phone for something like 3 or 4 years. (I did briefly have a Nokia brick that I used maybe once or twice to make calls, but mostly as an alarm clock without a sim card.) I spend a lot of time working at my laptop all day, and I don't want another full-blown computer in my pocket to suck my attention when I'm away from my laptop. Typically when I'm away from my laptop I'm busy with something--taking a walk in the park, drinking with frinds--that I don't want interrupted. I also find that I can live perfectly fine without calls. I schedule things in advance with my girlfriend/friends, and email is enough for that. Maybe there's been one or two times in the past few years where I've really truly needed a phone (and I can't remember a specific case, but I assume there must have been such a time!).
