I look at the cell phone thing as if you were at the movies... and agree with the turning it off at the con... However I know plenty of people who don't own a camera and use their cell as just that...
The newest argument I want to bring up is the fact of those new phones that they are *making* into cameras.... my sister just got a phone that takes pictures like an actual camera, but is in fact also a phone...
But then again that doesn't take into account the side of people recording things....
I think that in this day and age, they *have* become lifelines to some and asking them to not use them or have them on them at that time would drive them nuts...
However on that same note, I can tell you as a person who carries mine with me everywhere I go, that finding out that mine didn't work at all whatsoever in Vancouver ended up being not such a big deal...
(I had a few friends who let me phone my parents to let them know that everything was okay.... and that the trip was going good) But other than that, I really didn't miss it....
