I agree, Char. I do the same trip as you, except this train goes between Uppsala and Stockholm. I am absolutely floored at the complete lack of manners with cell phone etiquette. I've heard all the same variations of conversations as you have, and all I can do is crank my mp3 player up a little louder.

Take note next time you fly. As soon as folks are off the plane and on the walkway, out come the phones and everyone are walking along like sheep not watching where they are going.

I carry a phone too, but I only use it to call work or home if I am delayed in transit for more than an acceptable amount of time. And even then I try to be out of earshot of any innocent bystanders. I don't use it for pleasure.
