I liked reading your essay here a lot - that's really what I love with blogs, that they enable us to base our trains of thoughts on observations we made the other day and share it with others (and to post shitloads of pictures ;oD).
Concerning the mobile issue I rather agree with those saying it's a relief to have in case of emergency. But I still think that covers a completely different situation since the girl you saw obviously was in no kind of distress but leisurely talked to someone while walking.
The first thing that came to my mind was that the time I spent as a child walking to and from school was always filled with thoughts, songs and dreams - something you definitely don't have if you're on the phone 24/7. Up to a certain age I hummed and sang on my way home (not in the morning, though. :o) and I thought out stories.
