Cell phones should be banned from earth.
I don't have one, don't want one, don't need one.

I got an alcatel one touch view db.

Its a useless phone, with no features, except sms. Atleast its almost unbreakable.

And I hear you Porsche, I used to hate cell phones, and in some ways I still do. I resisted them for a long time, and I was among the last of my friends to break down and get one. So hey, keep fighting the good fight!!!

I did the same as Kris. It is noble to boycott and say no, but in the end, it just feels so good to say yes I hate to say it, to bow down so completely to this invention, but my cell phone has literally changed my life... for the better.

It would be next to impossible to ban cells phones. Business people live and work by them 24 hours a day. I'm sure millions of dollars are transferred in the form of orders via cell phones daily.

cell phones bring in millions of dollars DAILY. If you've ever been to a big city you see thousands of them. When we went to Buffalo there were 12 year olds with them. And they dont just use them for crap..

sometimes cell phones can be 1/2 the price monthly as normal phone bills. -> the reason my phone line (private for my room @ home) is forewarded to my cell..

My boycotting has nothing to do with the usefulness of the Cell Phone, I 100% agree it's changed the world for the better, it's just that how many people out of 10 have them at this point? I'm guessing the number is somewhere around half for most places, higher and lower for some places, take Finland and and a 3rd world country for example.

I don't currently have an responsiblity that I feel requires a cell phone, maybe I should have one just in case I get stuck with my friends in a car or something, but I'll bet $10 at least 2 of my friends in that car will have a cell.

Here in The Netherlands it's even worse. Among young people, I guess 9.5 out of 10 have a cell phone.
I agree, some people need them, but most of them don't. What's the use of calling someone just to say you're sitting in a train on the way home. That's annoying, most of the phonecalls are pointless, maybe because cell phones are a product of modern wealth.

A question to learn how people in other countries use their phones: For what purpose do you use your cell phone?

I have four cell phones.

Kyocera 7135 smart phone!(the baddest phone in the world)
Samsung I300 Palm phone( getting rid of it now that I have the kyocera)
LGVX4400( pretty nice phone also)
I also have an old bag phone plugged into my fax machine. I work for Verizon Wireless so I have a good reason to have many phones.

Try hundreds of millions a day. The corporate sales channel of Verizon Wireless covering one(two state) region brings in a million a day.
