Did you name your Samsung Captivate? If so, what is it? I'm thinking of naming mine lol, so far havn't thought of a name yet, I'd like to hear yours though ^^ '
 
In certain emails, my Captivate's name is "Phone: ". In other emails, it can go by "Cell - ". And sometimes I refer to it as "Mobile".

Hope that helped!
 
I had never really thought to name this or any other phone. But if I had to, it would be "unupdated, ignored, and forgotten by Samsung and AT&T stepchild with broken GPS".
 
Reminds me of this:

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him Rover or Spot. I called mine Sex. Now Sex has been very embarrassing to me when I went to the city hall to renew the dog's license for Sex. I told the clerk I'd like a license for Sex he said. "I would like to have one too!". Then I said, "she is a dog!!". He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "you don't understand. I had Sex since I was 9 years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy."

When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "but Sex has played a big part in my life and my life revolves around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everybody would like having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the justice of peace. My family was barred from the church then on.

When my wife and went on out honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said every room in the motel is a place for Sex. I said, "you don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "me too!"

One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, Sex ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand!!" I said. "I hoped to have Sex on TV!!". He called me a show off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "your honour. I had Sex before I was married, but Sex left me after I was married." The judge said, "me too!!"

Last night, Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." My case comes up next Thursday.

Well now I have been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with my psychiatrist, she asked me, "what seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all of my life but now it has left me forever. I couldn't live any longer. So lonely." The doctor said, "look mister you should understand Sex isn't a man's best friend. So get yourself a dog."
 
MissBrightside, mine will have a name, but there's a story behind it. My still current PDA is a Garmin iQue 3600 Palm OS unit. On the iQue forum (part of Brighthand.com) there were several ex-military pilots who recognized the female voice that comes standard with the iQue - it's the same voice the military used to use on their flight simulators to teach pilots how to fly. They called her Bitchin' Betty. So, the iQue was dubbed 'Betty'. I've called it that ever since.

It sounds like I have a personal assistant, when I'm making checking an appointment, I always say 'I'll have to check Betty'. People who know me know what I'm talking about, but those who don't think I've got a secretary named Betty

I'm a Pilates instructor, and I am always booking appointments with clients or classes. I run my schedule on Datebk6. Now the developer of Datebk6 has come out with an Android app, PimlicalA. If I ever get to the point where I trust the Captivate and am sure my data is secure on it, I'll switch over to the Captivate completely - because Betty is getting old. But the GPS on Betty beats the hell outta the junk on the Captivate!! I can get around so easily with Betty, I have no idea how to navigate on the Captivate.

Whew - sorry for the long post! :)
 
Well, I did name my old Datsun (now Nissan) "Yoko" because it was not only Japanese, it also emitted a high-pitched, annoying screeching sound at unpredictable intervals.

My first Harley was "Mo" because I purchased it from a guy from Missouri.

I don't know about naming my phone, though. "Sammy?" Nah. :D

Never named my Harley - boy, do I miss that bike :cool:
 
Hmm, I named my guitars (I only remember two of them: Jessica and Jayne). I've never named my cars. I even named my HD TVs (Douglas and Lance [42" - Douglas as in Douglas Adams and 55" - Lance as in Lance Briggs, from the Chicago Bears, #55]) (yeah, I know that's fascinating). I've never had a name for any of my mobile phones. Now I'm thinking. Thanks, now I'm totally tortured.
 
I totally have to name my phone. At work we have a ladder named Epic (it has had a tag on it for 10 years with that name) and the big electrical transformer in our back room we named boximus prime. What ever name I come up with will have to be appropriately geeky
 
We have a cadaver lift at work that we named after the previous morgue attendant. (Won't post the name out of respect to the guy, because he wouldn't want anything personal posted -- he was a little net-phobic)
 
miniSparky.

I always come up with names for my tech gadgets. My wireless router is Daedelus, my current gaming pc is named Rigg, the old gaming pc earned the name Fireball after the HDD literally caught fire. My first laptop was named Sparky, my newest laptop is SparkyII, so it felt fitting to name the phone miniSparky.
