I think this one

(a) holding the device in a position in which it may be used;

Is the one that screwed the OP over, holding it to press end key could just as easily be texting especially from a couple meters away IMO

They'll claim that they are trained to use a electronic device and drive.

Really? Failing me? Go google up why they are exempt, you see them using the cruiser computers all the time, thats way worst then a cell phone.

For a second part C confused me, until I re-read the "hand-held" part above.

IIRC, anything that you use has to be fixed and have to be "1-touch," correct? So since a 2 way radio (or at least all the ones I've seen) allow you to communicate with only 1 button, they're fine?

(Unless my friend is lying and was driving home or something and the cop followed him)

Hmm, can you still get a ticket even if you're on your own property?

I have a Blue Ant S1, which is a bluetooth speaker. It keeps both my ears free, which I actually think is safer than having one ear plugged with an ear mounted one. It's one touch answer/end. The only time I pick up my phone is to look at who's calling, and that takes about as much time as looking down at the screen in my car when I want to see what the temperature is set at, and it's a hell of a lot quicker than looking at what radio station I'm wanting to change to.

Now tell me again why I need to mount my cellphone to the dash?

[TOS'd]

Cause even picking up your phone to look at it is apparently illegal. You can't prove you were just looking at the screen, you could have just fired off a text msg or email.
