If you set your phone to vibrate and talk in a low voice, I have no problems with cellphones in a nice restaurant.

Unfortunately, most people seem to have set the Mario theme as their ringtone at maximum volume, and also they believe that the person on the other end won't hear them unless they YELL INTO THE PHONE AT ALL TIMES. The mics on cells are exceedingly sensitive... half the time someone calls me from one I have to tell them to quit acting like a trainable and talk like a normal person.

edit:

oh, and for indignant smokers, let me explain something to you: someone using a cellphone in a normal tone of voice at the next table doesn't hurt me. Someone smoking a cig at the next table not only makes all of my food taste like tobacco, it also gives me lung cancer. THATS the difference.
