ComputerWorld takes a look at the Nine Deadly Sins of Cell Phone Use, including Butt Dialing (inadvertently pressing the call back while your phone is in your pocket), Stall Talking, and Crunchy Calling (eating and talking). It's a matter of manners, and nothing more. But in the case Crunchy Calling, I am not sure who's more at fault — the person interrupting your meal, or the person who continues eating. It's a matter for Emily Post.

My Google search for cell phone etiquette related stories caught this one this morning… Yes, You Can Be Too Well Connected, says The Hartford Courant.
Someone’s cellphone went off in church today. During a funeral mass. …you could hear the sound of the person’s voicemail on speakerphone just as the priest was in the middle of the final prayer. Those in the congregation had their heads bowed, and many were sobbing and wiping their faces with tissues. Meanwhile, a woman in the row behind me was – almost casually – pulling through objects in her large black bag to find the wireless culprit as "You have reached 486-something" was audible to most everyone around her.
