APALACHICOLA, FL—Catherine Polk, 24, died at a local Starbucks Monday afternoon, due to complications resulting from the tragic loss of her cell phone. "It was horrible—Cathy didn't have any of her numbers written down anywhere else, and she was waiting on a call about last-minute tickets for a concert," said best friend Melissa Barreth, who was with Polk when she first discovered that her Cingular V400 quad band/GSM cell phone was not in her purse. "We tried everything to find it, but in the end, there was nothing we could do." The coroner's report confirmed that Polk died of a sudden lack of wireless service.

The whole cell phone thing is downright ridiculous. Everyone is playing with, or talking on, the damn things all the time!

Cell phones are a necessity these days. I dunno why schools aren't banning them from the classrooms. They shouldstay in teh lockers. I remember they didn't the guys to wear baseball hats..sureley they can ban these devices from the classrooms..

We ban them from meetings too - we meaning both the US and German armies. They are disruptive. And they are not a necessity. They are a useful tool, but today they have become ridiculously overused.
