Dave S, The worst part about my rant - those @#$% ARE illegal to use handheld in NY while driving. And the police DO pick people up, for what little good it does. $50 for the first offense up to $300 plus license points each time. We have one - wherever it is - and it gets used about a dozen times a year, and that's usually only when one of us is out of town and want to 'report' safe arrival.
