Parents use it as a way of keeping in contact with their children or they advise their kids to use for emergencies only. It comes in handy for businessmen. If the business man is late for an important meeting which involves closing a business deal, he may communicate to his business partners that he is stuck in traffic or his other meeting is going over the scheduled time. But to use the cellular phone as an accessory is simply ridiculous. I suppose that for some, it may be considered a status symbol.

The cellular phone is not a toy nor should it be used as a fashion statement. It is a useful tool that allows anyone to communicate with others.

I totally agree with you Geenie. It is not a status symbol but rather a necessity. It's sad to see that even the mobile companies do not refrain from advertising their products in this fashion.

And, sadly enough, the only part of the population that gets the wrong message by seeing these ads are the teenagers who end up spending much more money than they have and end up in debt by the time they are out of college.
