I have a cell phone, whenever someone calls me at a restaurant or public place i turn it off temporarily so i dont bother the people trying to enjoy their dinners around me. Same thing at an any public place really unless i know it's an important call. And i have used in my car several times but i have the 2 way from nextel so i dont have to worry about putting it up to my ear and distracting me, i just keep it on my lap and talk when it's my turn. For the most part though i cant stand those who have to have a cell phone just to have one to look styling (i.e.- Anyone who buys the new Razor from cingular)
