If you know someone who doesn't own a cellphone, you are in the minority. If you are someone who doesn't have a cellphone, you are in the tiniest minority.

Oh, we are addicted and a significant amount of us require the latest, fastest, best tech available to get satisfaction. But when the latest and fastest just isn't enough, perhaps the most expensive will do.
