Really?  Moreso than land line telephones?  The telegraph?  Radio?

A cell phone is pretty essential for anyone who dates/clubs/etc., in
any way is into meeting people in that kind of context.  The subtle
art of flirting via text message should not be ignored.  :)

Also the camera/video phones that are standard now allow people to
record events that might otherwise go unreported - like that recent
event in a library where a student of color was assaulted by
University Cops.

Or me getting video of Dennis Rodman in my hotel last weekend during
the NBA All Star game...
