Text Messaging, it solves worlds of problems when it comes to being rude and talking in public.

Whether it be on a regular phone or blackberry, people should learn text messaging.

Now, when it comes to a cellular devices in a vehicle, I vote no on everything. Cell phones in a car have nothing to with being rude, it's about the safety.

If you NEED to talk to someone in a restaurant, movie theater, or other similiar setting use a damn text message! And no one give me the BS text messaging is expensive, even the worst plans its only a couple extra bucks a month.

Now if we really wanna talk rude, nextel 2 way radios not on speaker off mode in public settings! I really don't care to hear both sides of a conversation never mind one side.

Ya, I send over 2500 messages a month. It's my preferred method of communications. Easy, fast and hassle free. I've got my whole family into it, and think about it... even the big sports coaches are texting their players. It's super easy. You don't interrupt anyone, and they read it and can reply whenever.

I also like the WiFi thing. But I voted yes as well

I like having my phone. I mostly text in public places anyway or I tell the other person I will call them later. Rude people will be rude no matter what but I want my phone.

I'd rather see WiFi on planes than anything. It would be great to have an internet connection for that 5 hour cross-country flight. Then you could e-mail and IM without disturbing anyone.

Not nearly as profitable as flat hourly/30min billing that they'd try to put into place. Also, I'm not even sure that you could keep a wi-fi connection doing 500mph.
