Blame it on Just for Laughs, but a lot of comics chimed in following a recent report that found Canadians trail the developed world in cell phone ownership, raising questions about how quickly we will take to 3G features like video and wireless Internet. And so, hoping to get at least a few straight answers, we ask:

Do you use your cell for anything other than talking? Do you even own a cell?

I just bought a BlackBerry. Could someone please show me how to use it?

I’m a BlackBerry addict. It’s practically fused to my hand. All the behind-the-scenes workings of our fest get punched out on the BB typepad.

I’m with Bell Mobility, so when I’m not throwing my phone across the room it makes a good paperweight.

I do own a cell…Do I use all of its capabilities and functions? No, because they are just not essential to me right now.
Adam J. Shully,
Executive producer, The Bridge

I have an iPhone that I also use for pictures, but I don’t have one song downloaded because I don’t know how!

I use my cell to text. I use it to look up trivial answers to trivial questions. I use it to hold books open while I’m eating foods that need both my hands like corn on the cob. I use it as a travel alarm instead of a hotel wake-up call. I sometimes dance with it – when I’m lonely.
