OMG yes, my old boss had one of the first ones and he was a friend (for a while) we would go out with him and his wife for dinner and he would have to call each of his adult sons and other people from the company that he gave the phone to. He was by far the biggest show off I have ever met, he had no need to talk with these people at 9 PM on the weekends but he could just not resist shouting to them so everyone could see and hear he owned a nextel.
