Ok, what do you guys think about cellphones?

I think I\'m going to be the most anti-cellphone person here.  I don\'t have one, and I have no plans on getting one.  When I\'m away from home or from my office, I don\'t want to be reached by anyone.  I spend my workdays answering the phone, and I can\'t stand it.  I dread hearing that damn thing ringing...  When I\'m away from work I don\'t want anyone calling me, and I\'m happy to find a pay phone when I need to make a call.

People in Los Angeles are the worst cellphone users in the world.  It seems these idiots use them to entertain themselves for every spare moment of their lives.  If they\'re waiting in line ANYWHERE, waiting at the laundrette, shopping at the supermarket, etc... they call someone to fill up those vacant seconds in their life.  These are people who can\'t be bothered to plan ahead enough to check a map before leaving home, bring a magazine, god forbid - bring a book to read.  They have probably not read a book in 20 years.  What sad pathetic lives.

Some technology does not improve our society, and I think that cellphones are an example.  With the loud annoying ringing disturbing other people (especially when they let it ring while they check to see who\'s calling), the possibility of car crashes and brain cancer, and the awful sound quality of these phones...  I\'ll stick with landlines, and as seldom as possible.

I\'m Scandinavian too, so naturally I have a cellphone, it\'s my second (a Nokia 3210) I got my first about three years ago.

I love my cellphone, over here in Finland they are so common that it\'s hard to imagine life without one.

Surely we\'ve had our share of people complaining about cellphones (mostly old people), that they are disturbing to others. But everyone\'s getting used to them. It\'s now practically impossible to use the subway or bus without hearing someone talking on their cellphone.

Certainly people who are not used to cellphones will be against them, as humans have this weird way of objecting anything new.

I have a very old Bosh cellphone :)
But I dont use it much.. (cuz the paycard or whatever you call it has no more markings)
And Im to cheap to buy a new card.. Even though they only cost $5..

I think they are pretty handy.. Especially for emergencys.. *lol*

They can get pretty annoying..
You hear those stupid ringsounds all over the place. :rpissed:
