It is crazy to allow cell phone use on planes. You are sitting elbow to elbow to elbow with someone yakking on the cell and you can't get away.You can only sit there.

This is needed? By who? The cell phone companies want people to use up their minutes. And on a plane people will talk for hours.

Great for the cell phone providers, lousy for the person sitting next to you.

It does seem to be a dangerous thing, what better way to remotely detonate a bomb say in a shoe or hand luggage without having to be conspicuous until it is too late :o(

Well nothing can stop that. If a person can call out then someone can call in as long as the phone is on.. BOOM! A bomb rigged to detonate upon recieve.

Good question. I am in Europe right now and most are looking forward to it although i can see that perhaps in the future that there will be cellphone-free areas (front or back like it used to be for smoking).

And I can see airlines charging a premium for a cell-phone seat.

Probably so, but this is where tact and consideration plus manners are needed. I don't think we have that anymore!! Everyone is so about themselves disregarding the concern about others.

Cell phones make a personal hell when traveling on trains and buses, so there's no reason to expect they would be less annoying on planes with only the engine whine for comfort. I hate this idea. It would be wonderful if the presumably more upscale clientele had better phone manners, but that's just wishing. There will always be people trying to exceed their allocation of unlimited minutes, and will do so as if they're cheering a football game. I hate this already.

It couldn't be any worse than a restaurant or anywhere else where people talk too loudly on their cells.

Especially the ones with the cell phone behind me babbling away. I'm sorry sir; I didn't mean to accidentally thrust my elbow into your face. It was just a nervous reflex of mine. You know how planes can be.
