Is it really their version of the cell phone, though? A long-range communication device to be sure, but it might not really be an intended equivalent.
It could be the same as anyone on Earth from centuries past suddenly finding a phone in the modern age. They might find a speed-dial button and call somebody, but they won't know how to shut it off again, just like, as you said, SGC's/Atlantis's only way to deactivate one of these is to blow it up.
Just because the humans of Earth haven't figured out how to deactivate the device without destroying it doesn't mean there isn't a way in the device's design, right?
