RE: Law firm cell phone policy

Tom,

Although not of direct use to you, I noted a stat in an article on lawyers
and Smartphones/PDAs that may help you in finding firms with existing
policies:

"By 1998, handheld PDAs had become a hot gadget, but only for a relatively
small number of trendsetters. Eighty-seven percent of firms said that they
did not supply handheld PDAs or e-mail units to lawyers. Today that number
has done an exact reversal, with 87 percent of firms now offering such
devices."
"Tech @10," The American Lawyer, Michael Aneiro, September 1, 2005.

Would you share your findings with the group (or at least with me)?

Subject: [NetLawyers] Law firm cell phone policy


Fellow members! (Hi, Stuart!)  Now, after many months of reviewing
smart phones and pocket pc's and after having waited several more
months for the release of the new Moto Q, and even a couple
additional weeks of hands on testing of the new Q  . . . I have been
charged with soliciting existing policies governing the use,
ownership, billing, privacy issues, etc. with regard to law firm
issued and owned cell/smart phones, phone numbers, etc. as we
consider purchasing and rolling out several dozen of these bad boys.

Anyone have any vetted text they might be willing to share so that I
don't need to recreate the wheel?

How about pointing me to any articles on the issue for guidance in
crafting our own?  What issues should we absolutely cover, etc., etc.

Thanks so much for any input.
