So, my phone (Nokia N95-3) doesn't really fit in the pockets. What do I do?! Holster it? Murse? Ugh... choices, choices.

Get rid of the phone. Unless you're a surgeon on call or something, odds are you don't need it and are one of those annoying dependent people who must be in touch with others at all times. Sorry if this is harsh, but I hate cellphones.

I back-left pocket my phone (Treo 700wx) in my New Standards. When I sit down I remember to take it out and put in on the desk/table.

Whatever you do, don't holster it.

Personally I carry my phone in backpack. If I dont have my backpack then I just dont have my phone. Unless your a girl or buisnessman you probley dont need your phone all the time. **** I use my cell maybe 2 times a week.

I personally don't like having cell phones in the front pockets. Eventually your NS will fade and then you have this rectangle which ruins everything.

Luckily my phone is small enough that I can fit it in the coin pocket. Although it does manage to slip out occasionally.

But back pocket is your best bet.
