Depends on the phone. Non Flip-phones look odd... but I like my motorola timeport and it's ability to rotate 90deg in the holster. My contract is up in august so I'll probably look for a new phone... but if I don't find anything I like... hmmmm.

I don't think it's ghey. I, as well as all of my coworkers, and family members, have Nextel phones with belt clips... family has i90s or i60s, work has i1000s and i60s.

um if it's an old man, then no. it's not gay.

however, if it's a student, it's much more hip to keep the cell-aaaay in the pocket.

Um, you obviously don't wear slacks, ever.

Phones cause strange bulges in slacks pockets. Plus it's much more professional to have you cell phone within reach rather than playing pocket pool in front of clients every time it rings.

Gee, every single person at the company I work with has a phone on a belt clip. I guess they're all GAY.

Anyone who considers it "teh gayz0r" either never dresses like a professional, is in high school, or has really serious deep-seated sexuality issues such that they gauge other's orientation on whether or not they wear a belt clip.

Add to that baggy Abercrombie cargo pants != slacks. Cell phones just look bulky in the front pocket.

Ghey is not a definition of sexual orientation. It's a word meaning something looks nerdy in this sentence.
I think it looks stupid, but that's just me. Wearing a cellphone in the suit pocket is professional too.

WTF? I didn't even know there was stigma regarding cellphone belt clips.

I always use a belt clip for my cell phone (flip phone). I hate putting it in my pocket because thats where my keys and/or wallet is. It might get scratched and it sticks out, and in the other pocket it might fall out. Then theres the fact for non flip phone people who freakin forget to lock their phones and accidently call people. It amazes me how people DON'T use a cellphone belt clip. It's just so much more convenient.

I'm a 20 yr old college student.

Uhm, not ghey.

Every person that I know from my old company had one. In the real world, you don't carry a bag around with you all day to carry your phone in. That is, unless you are a woman.

What am I supposed to do, clip it to an ear, scrotum or other danging flesh?

Any guy who carries a "bag" can't call another guy gay for using a belt clip. Whats next, a fanny pack?

I wear a cellphone and a Blackberry RIM on my belt. I don't have time to be dicking around digging things out of my pocket or bag while working. In the service industry it's all about getting in, getting the job done and getting out (sounds like sex, huh?). I don't need to be walking into the office of the president of a company, who just happens to be a woman, with a huge bulge in my pocket. I hate it when they close the door, lock it and jump my bones. It slows me down and makes me late for my next call.:D

Fanny packs are pretty gay. Reminds me of a middle aged man in the 80's jogging with neon colored shorts, frilled chest hair coming over a wife beater, cop-style large sunglesses, and a headband.

That being said, belt clips are convenient. They are not gay. Cell phones bulge pockets. That's infinitely more gay than a belt clip.
