Pagers are still the same size as they were 25 years ago. The same can't be said for smartphones.I'm amazed that doctors still carry pagers. Obviously this is due to network coverage but I find it hard to believe that the pager radio technology could not be stripped out of the old device and inserted into a phone and then connected to a pager app. Might not add a lot in terms of market share, but if making the Windows phone the de facto device among doctors/surgeons/nurses were coupled with other ongoing Microsoft healthcare initiatives, it would be a huge image win. ...Unless people actually like lugging around an extra device, if only for the pleasant sounds it emits.
