Don't assume that... Fancy phones cost a lot of money, especially when
you consider the extra cost of the data plans that you need to get.
Between my wife and I we spend almost as much on our data plan as we
do on the basic service plan.  Up until a week ago my personal cell
phone was a low end motorola flip phone.  It allowed "apps" to be
installed, but only ones that came from Verizon's app store - and just
about every one cost $$$ so I wouldn't have installed it anyway.

Don't assume that work provides a fancy phone either, and if work does
give us a fancy phone don't assume that we are allowed to install apps
on them.
