During the winter, I can fit a cell phone in the breast pocket of my running jacket (one of those vertical-zip pockets on the left-front on the chest). That's not entirely practical for the summer months, though.

I know that Amphipod has a series of clip-on pouches (Micropacks) that you could attach to the waistband of your shorts. One of those could fit a cell phone, as long as you're not carrying one of those cell-bricks from the early '90s.

I literally hold my cellphone in my hands when I go out to run because I use the stopwatch/timer function. It would definitely feel more comfortable to keep it in some kind of snug shirt pocket while I run. Investing in a running watch/timer would make more sense. hehe

Any recommendations?

I always carry a phone.  You'll probably be needing some kind of hydration system soon so you might look at something that will also carry your phone.  Make sure you put your phone in a zip-lock bag.  Sweat and condensation from a water bottle will get your phone wet.  I bought one url=http://www.amphipod.com/145/145.htmlone of these.[/url]  However, it flops up and down when I run.  So I hook it on the inside of my shorts.  It doesn't bounce at all.  It just looks like I have an alien growing out of my stomach.     Amphipod has several items that are small enough to carry a phone and not too bulky.

I like carrying my phone too and used my jacket in the colder temps.  I just bought some addidas running shorts with a zipper pocket on the back (center).    It works perfectly and the phone doesn't bounce around much at all.

I don't carry a phone when I run since it's all resedential and if I'm not close to someone's house that I know, I'll just pick a house and ask to use their phone.  But for those of you who feel the need to carry phones, pepper spray or a halfway point ham sandwich, look into cycling jerseys, they have a couple pockets on the back that easily holds whatever you need for a couple hours away from the convienece of modern life.  And yes, you can get plain colored cycling jerseys without all the advertising many people aure used to and they are made of the same wicking material that other sports clothing is made out of.

I carry it in a fanny pack kind of thing so can't help you there but I do have a bit of advice for everyone. I read it in a magazine so I believe it is true. It said that one way to help the paramedics/what not if you are hurt is to have someone in your phone who starts with ICE (in case of emergency). So say your husband is your contact and his name is Bob. Simply program ICE-Bob and then input his #'s.

Try fitting your phone where ur ipod goes or put in back pocket if phone not bulky.
