I'm going to start a campaign to coin a new phrase. "Phantom Phone Syndrome" is far too good a term to only be used by me. If you've ever had the feeling that your pocket is vibrating, or that you just heard that distinctive beep nearby then you know what I mean. It's actually become a big thing with me lately, so much so that I find myself checking my pockets even when I know my phone isn't on me. I blame my new phone mostly for the increase in it, as when it rings it starts off quietly and gets louder, leading me to generally pick up on the fact that it's ringing because of the vibration (well at least I'd like to think it's that, rather than phone radiation doing funny things to my thigh). Generally it's nothing more than an annoyance, however in social settings it's incredibly embarrassing as you continually check your phone and find nothing. Still, I know I'm not the only one. Others suffer too! I am not alone! Well, not in any mobile phone psychological condition sense anyway.

(t) Nothing. But I still check it. Hahaha.
Sorry, it's just some default template I fiddled with. New stuff coming soon don't worry!

Oops
my dad has that wee phone! it's too whizzy for him and he keeps sending me blank sms's and phoning me while it's in his pocket and he knows nothing about it. he once accidentally sent me a default message saying "i love you. see you later". i thought he was off to top himself or something. old folk shouldn't have access to such complicated things, i keep telling him to stick to the cisco routers and the like in work.
i always think i have 'PPS', then i remember it's my deep vein thrombosis playing up again.
I've never had a phone :p
There must be something about the Sony Ericssons then. I've got a T68i and have the same problem. It rung me at home while it was in my pocket last night, and presumably because it thought I was ignoring it, it then decided to leave a message for itself on its voicemail. And I'm not *that* doddery - then again, maybe it says something that I miss more actual calls than I get attacks of PPS.
Haven't you composed your own ringtone then Mark?
I get that. I don't feel the vibrations when they're there, and "feel" them when they're not.
surprisingly credible

I dont like this new whiter than white thing. For one, it doesn't fit into my browser and I have to scroll right to read whats written. And I'm not geeky enough to sort it out.
