It's Jackalope's world - we just live here, huh? Some of us unfortunately HAVE to answer our cell phones when they ring. I would think that pulling off onto a shoulder on a freeway at night MIGHT be more dangerous and distracting than pushing a button that is for all intents and purposes on the side of one's head.

I don't think so, and I also don't think that the judge will pursue your boss if you are the one ticketed. Think about it. Unless one is an emergency first responder, or military on immediate reaction stand-by I stand by saying, let the phone record the number and return the call when it's safe to do so. If you are tangled up in a guard rail or school bus, even if your phone is now planted firmly in your ear, you are no longer of any use to your organization.

It's very interesting to see how this thread has been hijacked. Check Verizon.com and you will see a couple of options for the Treo in the accessories menu. I have a 600 and found some options there. The others mentioned above look promising also, just a matter of personal choice.

You drive without your phone - I'll continue to do what I think is right and I'll wave at you *CAREFULLY* when we pass. Peace my Vette brother!
Well said. I've been in a job before that required me to answer my cell phone when it rang...in days before this, no one expected it, but now they do...such is life. I've since left that job...
The guy didn't ask for opinions on cell phone safety...he just asked where he could put it...
You could always pick up some velcro and put it on the console or dash area...then it'll stay where you put it, even when driving aggressively.
