I honestly don't think a cell phone call is *that* important. When I grew up cellphones didn't exist until the mid-80s and they were huge blocks of plastic and metal only rich people and mercenaries carried around. What did all those people do before then? I guess they were just out of touch! I agree with their usefulness in emergency and even informational situations like what to get from the store when I stop off on the way home. It's all in where the call is taken or made. If you don't turn off your ringer in a theater/play/concert SHAME on you. I went to see Gothika a couple weeks ago and had to hear these things go off 5 times and ppl were actually dumb enough to answer them and talk! leave it on vibrate and go into the lobby! Between that and the ignorant talking I won't se another movie again for a long while.
I honestly see zero excuse why cell phones can't be used with minimal annoyance to others. You can have it both ways...it depends on whether one side chooses to respect the other. Ppl are fed up with the rudeness of cell users in general and perhaps if they don't want this kind of back lash they shouldn't use them rudely in the first place. Of course not every one does, but most do and it's too bad you gotta get caught in the crossfire. I'd buy one of these if I could afford it and I would turn it on everywhere they annoy me, i.e. restaurants, movies, plays, etc. I don't pay $30 for a meal to hear Beep-aleepaleepaleep -a buhhhhdunnuhnah. I don't spend $12 just for matinee seats to hear it either. Just put the damn thing on vibrate...I dont' understand why this is hard. My cell has a volume limiter and "polite" short rings as well. So the phone can't be blamed.
