[nagdu] Dog attacks: accessible cell phone with camera

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

Brenda, 
I'd get an Iphone. They are expensive and fragile. They are also accessable. I'd only get one though if you have other reasons for wanting a camera, realizing that the odds of your dog being attacked and you having the precence of mind to takea pic, and also the ability to get hold of your phone are slim enough that this rationale shouldn't be what tips the scales for you. The Iphone 4 can also shoot video which might be more useful then still photos. Still, I'd get an Iphone only if that's what you want and only if you have other things you want to video.
I have a haven and like it. 
You can also get a digital camera which would give you picture taking capability

Hi Lisa
Sommerset, KY - cool.  We have relatives in Irvin (sp) which is just 
down the road a bit.

As for Verizon, been there, tried that with absolutely no success. That 
is why I thought I'd ask on this list since the issue of dog attacks and 
cell phone cameras was being discussed.  I was set on the Haven until I 
realized it didn't have a camera, which would be helpful in the event of 
a dog attack.
