Belt clip or pocket (or elsewhere)?

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.

I keep my phone in...

I keep my phone in my pocket, but sometimes it gets annoying and i throw it in my bag. Never tried a holster/belt clip, always thought they'd be more in the way than just in my pocket. Guess its down to personal preference.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
