Cell phones just make life easier becuase normally they don't belong to a family, like a land line might. I know whenever I get the chance I will call a peers cell phone, rather than their land line becuase I am uncomfortable with talking to people I don't know (especially parents).
As for upgrades to more flashy phones, I feel that it's a status thing, if so and so has the most expensive phone out there, it might make them feel cool.
For the 2007 season, I was my team's captain. I don't think it would of run as smoothly as it did, if it wasn't for the majority of the team having cell phones. We have two schools as a part of our team, and if I meeting was canceled last minute, it wasn't something either of them would put over the PA. We would have to call and text each other to ensure that everyone knew.
I honestly, looked for only a few features when I bought my phone, one was that it must flip, another was to have T9 texting, others included Blue tooth (becuase who wants to pay for ring tones, and texts of pictures to facebook), extended battery life, camera/video and a media player, just becuase I like being able to carry my music around with me.

When ever I leave my phone at home my anxiety levels go way way up. It's probably becuase of my texting, I get anywhere from 75-200 texts a day and anywhere from 10-15 phone calls. I just like being able to be reached, comfort sort of thing.

And yes, I know what a Dial Tone is. I happen to have to hear one quite frequently, since my cell battery always seems to die....
