Face it, we americans are slow..

Its not just iceland that has a massive advantage over us in cellphones, hell tons of asian countries also do. When my mom visited hong kong she saw little old women on the bus yacking on cellphones hehe
and goddamnit, cellphones aren't evil. If your gonna ban cellphones in cars, ban passengers.. talking to passengers is #@% distracting. Ban little children, taking car of them in the car is way too #%@ distracting. Might as well ban mothers too i guess. Ban eating.. ban%#@ everything. I think we should have little cameras installed in all our cars so the government can watch ppl and automatically fine ppl that do something else while driving.
On a more serious note, i think cellphone signals should be jammed in theaters and other places like that. That or a large fine if the phone rings during the feature/performance and a beating if they answer the phone. Happens almost everytime i go to the movies, how hard is it to remember to turn your %#@ phone off.
and those that think cellphones aren't useful,.. i don't know whats wrong with you. If your busy or have more then 1 friend, its very useful.
