I used to say "mobile phone" as this seems to be the norm in England, where I'm from, but having moved to the US, I'm now having to say "cell phone" as that's how they appear to refer to them on this side of the Atlantic. As to which is better, I'd say "mobile phone" is better, because it focuses on the benefits of the technology, rather than on the technology itself.

"Cellphone is easier" - er, what, easier than saying "mobile" or easier because you are used to it!? Both have 2 syllables. Americans say "cell phone" The rest of the English-speaking world generally calls it a "mobile" or occasionally a "mobile phone" Going slightly off the subject, in most european languages it is usually some variation on their translation of "mobile" with some exceptions like German - "handy". Also in Spanish from Spain it is called a "mobil" whereas in Latin America it is usually a "cellular".
