Tssk... I think the American public just doesn't like cellphones yet. Come back in a few years, and we'll see how much you've changed.
Here in Europe (old europe?), we used to look down on cellphone users too: bunch of annoying bastards, showing how important they are with their cellphones!
Now everyone and their dog has a cellphone, including yours truly.
The reason I have a cellphone is simple: the phone company forces me to pay a monthly fee for a normal phone; I hardly ever call anyone, but I still have to pay that fee. With a cellphone, I only pay when I call (it's a pre-pay system). This way, I save at least 200 Euros (200 dollars?) a year. God, I'm such a moron...
Another huge advantage: I had a job interview yesterday, and the guy would call me back. He did, 15 minutes later, when I was on my way home. If I had not had that cellphone, it would have been pretty damn hard to reach me; because I did have it, I now know that I'll be having a second interview this friday. Moronic, isn't it?
