Belt clip or pocket (or elsewhere)?

Matt Wood | May 7 2006

Just curious, how many of you carry your cell phone/Blackberry/PDA on a belt clip vs. in your pocket or elsewhere, like a bag, bandolier, Baby Bjorn, six-gun holster? I was always a pocket person before but lately I've been using the belt clip that came with my smartphone, and while I like the easy access, especially when I'm sitting, I can't shake the feeling that I look like a poser trying to show off my fancy gadget.

I suppose this question is a little slanted towards men, but I'd be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts on why they carry the way they do.
