Like most things in life, it should be a parent's responsibility to teach manners where cellular phones are concerned. Parents are expected to teach their children the social norms for behaving in public, for interacting with others, so why should this be any different?
I, for one, plan on teaching any children I will hopefully have someday how to properly behave - and I plan to lead by example. I used to wear a cell phone virtually 24 hours a day for my previous employment, and I was always respectful of other people's right to enjoy their environment - so it was always set to "vibrate". Okay, there were times when this was none-too convenient, but it was a simple trade-off for polite behavior.
So parents: teach your children, and teach them well.
