pardon my ignorance....but if you turn off the phone or even the data connection, then why bother bringing it in to work with you? or can u set it on wifi, without 3g, and still use it without having it constantly look for the data signal? what i'm getting at is are you still able to call, text, email, etc.....or can you not do those things if the data is turned off?

I don't turn the phone off, but only turn off the data and phone connection while in my office. I do this instead of turning off the phone since it is quicker to toggle these two things off/on if I leave my office for another part of the building. My company does not permit personal devices(cell phones, laptops) to connect to its network, so no, I cannot use wifi with my cell phone while at work. No, I am not able to call, text, email, etc... while I am in my office, EVEN IF I DO NOT TOGGLE THESE THINGS OFF AS I DO NOT HAVE SERVICE IN MY OFFICE! Even if I had service, why would I email or call on my cell. I have a computer with a full size keyboard and a phone sitting right next to me.
Why do I bring my cell in to work with me? Because I do not instantaneously arrive at work from home. I drive to work, run errands, etc... I sometimes make use of my cell phone during this time. I also take my cell with me if I leave my office for another location.
Hope this helps with your questions.

Throw that bad boy into airplane mode, toggling one thing is even faster than toggling two.
Actually, that IS what I do.
