phone is always on vibrate.

eventho i have a blackberry now, still only have the phone near me when i want to receive calls or texts.

i do understand the frustration tho since a lot of people use their phone as an alarm and can't put in on silent.

If you have a blackberry, just use the Auto On/Off feature.

ie. I set mine to automatically turn off at 12am, and automatically turn on at 8am. Now if you want it to ring the alarm, you can just set that for 8:15am, but I do believe that if your alarm is set while the blackberry has auto off (ie. Before 8am), it will turn on and ring for the alarm. Though I need to check that..

Most Sony's can be turned off, and still have the alarm go off, aswell. It's so convenient.

Yep. My old Motorola did that,and so does my new Nokia. It's very handy.

I'm not important enough to need to leave my cell on at night.

However, there was a brief period when I first moved in, before I had a landline phone, that I left it on 24/7. This was both for the whole in-case-of-emergency thing and because I would otherwise only get around to turning it back on around 3 PM on Saturday/Sunday, which was sort of too late for anybody to reach me about anything important.

Most of the time my phone is sitting on my coffee table in my room. Whether I'm in the room or not is another question entirely.

I leave it on all the time, no vibrating or anything, just set on loud. I'm such a deep sleeper that if a friend wakes me up at 3am for some stupid reason, I don't mind taking the time to chat for a minute and make sure it isn't an important call before I tell them to fuck right off and get back to sleep

I dont get too many calls at wierd hours through the night, so i leave my in normal mode all teh time.

if i do happen to get a call, usually itd be around 12 or 1am-ish, which ill just answer to tell the person im sleeping (or talk to them depending who it is and if i want to). its stil late enough at nigth to easily fall back to sleep and doesnt bother me.

My text msg sound is only a quick beep, so that never would wake me up. i just check the texts in teh morning.

If you're with a group of friends and you get a call, feel free to excuse yourself, answer the phone, and talk away. Alternatively, if you're hanging out with just one or two other people, I believe it's impolite to talk on your cell phone at length

And people, don't yell when you're talking on your cell phones! In a setting like a restaurant for instance, there's no reason each individual present should be able to hear every word you utter.

It's a big pet peeve of mine.

Another one is answering a cell phone, or even worse, proceeding to have a conversation on the phone while eating a meal with someone or a group of people.

People who have text message conversations in social situations bother me. Its fine to quickly reply to someone, but if youre talking to me and texting someone at the same time... its just so rude.

Some people definitely needed to get beat when they were kids.
