to me, cell phones are not for long, drawn out conversations.
I've never liked owning one, but I've used it in emergency situations and such, so that's the only reason I keep it around.
If I really wanted to talk to someone for a long time, I'd go meet up in person.
If it's long distance and I know it might turn out to be a long conversation, I'll use the cell phone only because of the cheaper rates, rather than my home phone, but that's a rare situation.
It amazes me to see all the teenage girls yapping incessantly on their phones. I just don't see a need for having a phone permanently attached to your ear when you're a kid.
And they'll all be doing it while they're hanging in a group of other kids. WTF! "hey, let's all get together to spend time with each other so we can call all kinds of other people that aren't here"
