I'd love to get in on the wireless networking telephone thing with an I-Phone or the like, but as a c5-6 quad, I'm not sure that I could operate one and if I could, how do I hold/carry it without worrying about dropping it all the time?

i got an iphone. Got no finger function but its great.
Got a rubber thingo around it which helps with grip.

Touch screen is great but speaker is pretty shitty.

Duct Tape

Was told a story last night about a guy who met a bridge pillar head on.
He duct taped the handle bars to the headstock of his motorbike
Then it rained .. the tape got wet .. it stretched .. handle bars went one way .. bike the other

Moral of the story being .. dont take your duct tape out in the rain

I have been using an iPhone for about a year and love it. I just use my thumb to tap and use two hands to do the pinch. To hold the phone I use a small zipper pouch with one of those fake carabiners to hold it on my belt loop. I say go to an applestore and play with it.

If the iPhone doesnt win you over I'd suggest checking out Verizon. Im a huge LG fan and currently have the Dare. It, and many others, have same ability as iPhone just a different set up.
Anyways, back to Verizon.. they have a ton of touch phones to choose from.

My girlfriend is a c5/6 and does texting and everything. She has it in a standard leather holder with a lanyard around the neck so she never has to worry about dropping it and is easy to get to.

there was a quad on here who had a thumb loop attached to the back of his iphone because he lacked grip.

Was pretty neat.

I agree with Ches. I also have the LG Dare. Great phone and Verizon's service (I think) is the best.
