That "butt call" I received the other day was from a "smart" phone with no buttons on the face. It was really weird because we had a heck of a time just finding the contacts "page", it kept reverting to his golf GPS app.Douglas4517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-64031437306667262422011-06-30T11:18:41.015-04:002011-06-30T11:18:41.015-04:00I keep my phone in my back pocket when wearing jea...I keep my phone in my back pocket when wearing jeans - it's the only place it'll fit in some jeans, and i have keys / other scratchy things in front pockets even when it will fit. It becomes second nature to pull it out before sitting down...for me, my girlfriend sits on hers all the time.<br />Does butt-dialing happen much anymore? I think it's a byproduct of when phones actually had keys and rockers and directional pads and whatnot :) I know it was easy to do on the old nokia candybar phones - from the homescreen, hitting Up on the d-pad was a shortcut to contacts, and maybe down was last-dialed contacts or something of the sort...so hitting up once or twice on accident and then hitting the Call button (also a relic with today's touchscreens) was pretty easy.<br /><br />i'm probably coming from a different point of view since all of my friends and coworkers (and even mother, now!) have smartphones that generally lack a bunch of hardware buttons.Steven Scottnoreply@blogger.com
