i suggest more and more people are wanting to escape their cellular phone

with all due respect, you are simply wrong on this.

go to places that have a longer and more thorough experience with mobile life - eg western europe - and you will see they have become more, not less, indispensible.

and when you see me on vacation answering my mobitel, you are not seeing me reconnecting with work, you are seeing me reconnect with the friends and family i have scattered across a full 11 timezones.

i gave up the landline 4 years ago this septemeber. i will never give up my cell.

Cellular: never underestimate the power of a young generation raised on a new technology. They will become as essential as wired phones, though they'll become more mundane with narrower choices.

Right now there's so many calling plans one has to be as well versed in the detail as one is when buying a car. You shouldn't need a degree to buy a freekin' phone.

They'll become old hat, but they're here to stay, imho.
