When my husband purchased his new car last summer, it had a special cell-phone feature that was standard. 
If you have a Bluetooth-enabled phone, all you'd have to do is toss it onto the console and the car would detect the phone's signal and you could use a special button to use your phone hands-free.
I don't understand how it works, but it lets him call me and tell me he's on the way home without being in danger of being pulled over by the state police for holding a cell phone to his ear on an interstate highway.
If he didn't have that very useful feature but still wanted to use his phone, he'd have to get one of those Bluetooth earpieces. I just can't get past the thought that those things must be very uncomfortable; I don't even like wearing the earbuds for my iPod!
It used to be that if you passed someone on the road and you saw their mouth moving but no one else in their car, you knew they were singing along to the radio. Now, chances are, they're on the phone. And when you're walking around the supermarket and the person you pass is talking out loud while both their hands are pushing a shopping cart, they're on the phone too. That always throws me off; I think for a second that they are talking to me, and then I turn around and look at them and they give me a look like, "What are you looking at?"
I guess I'll have to continue to be a throwback; if I'm on the phone at ShopRite, I have to stop walking so I can hold the phone with one hand. So I limit those calls to those times when I can't remember if we need milk or orange juice.
