Do you have a smartphone?  Blackberry?  iPhone?  Android?

Do you use it as a technical tool in your work, either for accessing
devices or testing connectivity -- or something else?

I have a Droid2 with the "WiFi Analyzer" freebie app by Kevin Yuan. 
Compared to dragging around a real analyzer, it's helpful in the field.

Certainly haven't gone to any great lengths to "find" more, or
purposefully use my phone as a test device, but at least that one is
handy (was discovered by our WiFi guy) and the price is right.
