In my view abominations, contaminating the audio environment, verbal littering.
The only justifiable use I see for them is to make emergency calls for fire, police or ambulance, and possibly for calling for vehicle breakdown assistance. Mummy keeping track of kiddies only needs some device like a pager that responds with a GPS location and has a panic button for kid to use in emergency. A 4 year old with their own mobile to talk to divorced daddy seems totally over the top.
In my opinion, normal people make a shopping list before they leave home, any item that is not part of a regular daily or weekly shop, check the cupboard/shelf, don't wait until you're half way round Tesco/Walmart/Lidl then making one of those "can you have a look in the cupboard and see if we have any ?***?" calls.
Is anything really so desperate that we must talk to whoever right now.
As for use while driving, .45 calibre between the eyes should suit.
I saw a question elsewhere, somebody asked what applications would people recommend for use on some fancy device for a whole list of things from photo processing, through farcebook, twatter, (intentional spelling not typo) internet browsing and such. My reply would be "If you're at home use a PC or laptop, if in the office get on with the work you get paid to do, on the street pay attention to where you're going if walking driving or riding. In a public place don't pollute the environment with noise."
I would suggest to the government that they could wipe out the national debt in weeks if they taxed mobile phone tariffs, say £1 per minute?
