I know I drive some people mad because I rarely have my mobile phone turned on. . . but I don't see any reason to always be at someone's beck and call. Remember the good old days when you could get a little peace and quiet by leaving the house and venturing beyond the ring of the phone (and telemarketers). If I'm meeting someone and worry they'll need to call me to say "I'll be late by about 5 minutes" or "I got us a table in the back by the windows" then I try to remember to turn the darn thing on (if the battery isn't dead). But it makes a dandy portable camera.
