# person not phone that's pretentious
and a lot of people tried bluetooth headsets over here but realised they make you look like a twat from a sci-fi convention and went back to holding the phone.

# That will change
I promise you. Headsets are on the way to taking over here, so it's only a matter of time before you follow suit.
Personally I still don't carry a mobile phone. As time goes on though I come to be regarded more and more as some kind of antiquated heretic. I get away with it because I'm a Brit, so it's considered eccentric. If I was a yank though they'd probably burn me.

# Well I don't have a phone, either, so people are often surprised at me.
I don't need one, though.
People these days, even if they don't need one, get a mobile for the sake of having one.
But I'm not about to do that.

# Well
I quite like mine but find it too fiddly to use most of the time. Plus no one ever wants to call me anyway.

My wife refuses to have one since she saw the cyberman eps of the new Doctor Who.

# Like most people I have a headset or four.
I even have a nice discreet one but also like most people the headset never, ever leaves the car. I think we are just about up to the task of wearing them on the motorway but in public? Not a chance. Even the immensely dim-witted and totally non self-concious city types have cottoned on the the fact that you look like a prick. My wife can totally hide hers behind her hair, it's not the issue. The stomping around, wildly gesticulating into thin air whilst yelling extremely one-sided conversations at no-one like a Shepherd's Bush tramp? That's the issue.
