Totally agree with you, but there must be people out there for whom seeing someone even using a cell phone up there is a problem. I don't understand it at all but there must be!

Then there's the whole thing of, why is someone talking on a phone any worse than someone talking to their friends/kids across seats, turning behind, talking across the rows, laughing etc.?

It seems to me like there's something special about cell phones which annoys people

I can think of nothing worse than people having conversations and shouting because they can't be heard properly, or phones ringing because a call is coming in I would be absolutely fuming if I was sat beside someone who was doing this.

I can see nothing wrong with texting, if the phone is in silent mode or using Facebook, Whatsapp etc or even using the internet if thats what people want to do, but I think the phones should be silent, which includes keypad tones

If Virgin are going to allow this then I hope they have guidelines that the cabin crew follow correctly.

As for a quiet areas on a plane, yep I could go for that
