6. Avoid Other's Personal Space.
If you're outside on the phone, maintain a reasonable distance from people. Airing your dirty laundry in public is considered bad taste and very rude.
7. First Date + Cell Phones Interruptions = No Second Date.
Avoid taking phone calls while on a date or during intimate conversations. This is the time to get to know the other person and how can you do that if you're on the phone.
8. Text Messaging
If you are exchanging brief information, try text options instead of calling. It's quick, easy and has the least amount of distractions. However, turn off the device as soon as you finish texting.
9. ...But Not When You Are With Somebody.
There is nothing ruder than to be sitting at lunch with someone deep in conversation, only to have that person whip out their "Blackberry" and start texting.
10. Lose the "Star Trek" Blue-Tooth Headset When Not In Use.
It looks bad when you are sitting in the movie theater with that blue flashing light emanating from your ear. If you are not in a conversation, take it off. It does not make you look cool.
