Disputatio:Telephonum gestabile

Conventiculum Latin is telephonum gestabile (gestabile is also used for watches and laptop computers) --Iustinus 09:15, 19 Martii 2008 (UTC)

It would be fine if a source is attested. On the while, I think cellularis does the job as well, since the original English name comes from that. Cellular makes reference to a technical aspect on how mobile phones work: each antenna covers a (more or less) round area (hence cell) in which the phone works at a certain radiofrequency. When the phone approaches the limit of the coverage area of a certain antenna, it also reaches the coverage area of another one, and eventually changes its working frequency to keep communicating with the new antenna (entering the new antennas' cell, and living the old one's).

You should briefly explain that in the references rather than here.--Rafaelgarcia 20:04, 11 Iulii 2009 (UTC)

Fine! BTW I was thinking that, gestabile could also make reference to non-cell wireless phones. Cato censor 21:41, 11 Iulii 2009 (UTC)
