why do cellphone called cellphone?

The term originates from the fact that, as one travels from one place to another, the call is handed off from one tower to another, as you travel through designated "cells,", rather than being transmitted from one central tower.

Cell phone; it's become a part of my everyday life and my world of communication.

Yes I do, but it isn't only in class that this happens.  It amazes me that some people can't go long enough to enjoy a good meal in a nice restaurant without having to take a call.  It is rude!  \n\nDon't get me wrong I think cell phones have their place, for emergency's and such, but I do not feel that the phone has to be glued to your ear 24 hours a day.  And don't even bring them up while in a car!

Cell phones are a wonderful tool, however, people definitely need to learn cell phone etiquette.\nI wouldn't say it gets me mad, but probably more like mildly irritated.

they are phone calls made by using the internet.\nTraditional phone lines carry data via an electronic signal which is first activated by sending tones across the line to identify the line you are connecting to (pressing the buttons) then that information is sent to a central area where it is then "boosted" and routed to wherever the tones tell it to go.\nSame thing with internet calls except instead of pressing buttons on your phone and going through traditional lines of communication you use the internet connection to "translate" a number into those previously  mentioned tones to transmit the information to wherever you want it to go.  Most of the time you need to have some sort of software to do this or at least a service of some sort to connect to so that in the instance where you may be "calling" from your computer, the other person is answering on a phone.\nThere are programs and services out there that work completely free but both parties have to have the same program to make it work.

It is used to talk hands-free with your cell phone.\n\n(Notice my avitar has one)\n\nYou clip it to your ear and talk on your cell with it, without having to hold up your cell phone.\n\nSome are wireless some are not, it depends.\n\nHope this helps!

Most cellphones these days have a Memo function.  I am assuming you have a cellphone.  The Memo function is really handy for this and other occasions.  Your phone may even have a Voice Memo function or at the least a text function.

It is so easy to ridicule someone because they are overweight, but just because someone is overweight does not mean they are a big spender.\n\nAs for the cell phone, Newt Gingrich had said one of the reasons people remain poor is because they are not embracing new technology. A cell phone is becoming a necessity as our lives become more complicated, or in the case of the poor more dangerous. A cell phone is not just used by drug dealers and addicts, it is used to call the police when you are being chased by a dealer or addict.

Personally I detest it. However, I find it a necessary evil since my husband and I own our own electrical company that offers 24 hour service. We get a lot of calls on our cell phones at night since we have our land line forwarded to our cells when we are not at the office. However, we always put our phones on silent/vibrate when we are in a public place. That way we don't disturb anyone around us.

mobile = 移动 (yidong)\n\nIn the case of mobile phone, it would be 手机 (shouji) or 手提电话 (shoutidianhua).

It is very rude. That is one of my biggest pet peeves - People talking to other people while I'm on the phone with them. My Fiance does that all the time and it drives me up the wall!!!

I would agree that "howstuffworks" does a pretty good job.  The point is that "cellular" comes from the "cells" by which geographic areas are divided for the phone service.\nhttp://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cell-phone.htm

The land lines have gotten out of control, you don't say were you live but they have to be comparable to your area.  I know plenty of people who are strictly cellular, because the price is right.  Even my mother who is 80 calls me from her cell phone because its cheaper, and I'm out of her local area.  The only reasons to keep a land line is if you need it for your computer.

Phones are just rude.  \n\nI'ts annoying being with anyone on the phone, you only understand half of what's going on, and the person on the phone usually ignors me, and shushes me.\n\nI hate being shushed!!!

The name "Bluetooth" is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand - or Harold Bluetooth in English. During the formative stage of the Trade Association a code name was needed to name the effort. Over an evening discussing European history and the future of wireless technology several felt it was appropriate to name the technology after King Blatand. He had been instrumental in uniting warring factions in parts of what is now Norway, Sweden and Denmark - just as the technology is designed to allow collaboration between differing industries such as the computing, mobile phone and automotive markets. The code name stuck. \n\nFrom www.bluetooth.org - full information on link below

because they dont want anyone to know where they are calling from. Or, they dont want their name to come up on your caller id.  Or the cant afford a phone, thats why they are criminals

I'm guessing you are talking about Messenger/chat jargon.  \n\nThat IS probably more annoying than using the cell phone, which was my first guess.
