Subject: Paging Devices for Oracle DBAs
I'd like to get some feedback on good communication/paging devices for Oracle DBAs. I currently have a crappy old Nokia phone that can recieve email, but it's not very good for this purpose. Are any of you using devices that work really well for DBA alerts? The Treo and Blackberry units look nice, but they are expensive. Are they really worth the expense for this function? I used to carry a clam-shell Motorolla pager that was useful, but too big for comfort. A phone/pager combination would be ideal I think, if it works well :-).
What are you guys using that you like/don't like? [Shrek]
i don't like getting paged at all.;-) and i'm not using anything but the home phone answering machine. the hosting company doesn't do automatic paging, i usually find out something is/was down the next day when things are broken and people are complaining.;-)

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal deesires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert Einstein
