Um, we call them cell phones because they use cellular antennas, also known as cell towers. Yes, they are mobile but the cell sites are still sitting just where they were. And digital is just a subset of cellular.
I would just like to point out that Verizon is the former Baby Bell. Verizon Wireless is a subsidiary partly owned by Verizon and partly owned by British telecom company Vodafone. Although there is a very strong relationship between Verizion and Verizon Wirless, *they are not the same company*.
Popular "wisdom" seems to be that "Solving and analyzing puzzles and problems on paper." is somehow better than solving puzzles and problems on a computer. Why? How? It would seem to me that the issue is problem solving not pens, paper, bits and bytes. When written language was first invented, the people who memorized an entire cultural history in song and poetry probably thought the alphabet was the beginning of the end of civilization.

I believe that the average cell phone bill is more like 45-50 dollars.
