If you happen upon one "candy-bar" sytle Sony Ericsson T610 phone in the back of a New York City taxi, please return it to Newsweek's N'Gai Croal.

Croal, a technology writer, misses his T610, he tells readers in a December 3, 2007 column.  And while many of his readers assume that Croal must stay in touch on an iPhone or some future-tech Japanese communicator, he confides that he upgradesd to a Sony Ericsson 710a swivel after the unfortunate taxi incident.

"I remain resolutely determined to maintain separate devices for separate activities: my phone for calls, texting and checking e-mail; my PSP for music and occasional Web browsing; my Palm for scheduling and writing," Croal writes.  "Never the three shall meet."

Croal, who has been at Newsweek since early 1995 and is an aspiring short film maker, describes himself as a change-averse person "who fiercely resists adding new devices to his regular rotation."  The proof?  He still listens to his music on a PlayStation Portable.  iPod?  What's an iPod?
