About: I've been a fan of mobile phones...since the beginning. Being a poor sharecropper's son, I'm less gadget-obsessed than some of our reporters who seem to have developed an unhealthy attachment to the idea of the HTC Diamond. Instead, I'm interested in the way mobiles have changed our lives at work, at home and anywhere else that people cooler than me go.See Authors Posts (60)

There’s a tendency to treat people who’ve failed to fully embrace the cult of phone as mouth-breathing neanderthals. But thanks to ‘The Independent’, you can hear their side of the story. The ranks of mobile-non-believers include:

- Brian Sewell, art-critic and guest hijacker in the last edition of ‘Big Brother’

- Jilly Cooper, noted author of classics like ‘Violets and Vinegar: An Anthology of Women’s Writings and Sayings’

- Marcus Berkmann, quiz aficionado and co-writer of Radio 4’s ‘Lenin Of The Rovers’

There are also quotes from lots of other less famous people should you want to hear their excuses. Get them down to Omio and they might change their minds!
