This comic really reminds me of the pilot episode of the cartoon "A Kitty Bobo". It's the same sort of premise where the main character gets a cell phone before his friends do and he ends up falling into awkward situations even though he thinks it's very cool he has a cell phone now.

Reminds me of one of the pilot episodes of my own life as well :p When I was in elementary school, my father gave me a cell phone so me and him could call each other.

No one else in my class nor in most other classes at school had a phone. So it was kind of cool. But still for many years the only thing I could do with the phone, since no one else had mobile phones yet, was to talk with my father XD It was a blue and black Siemens phone with an antenna. No games, no GPRS/WAP, no nothing other than phone call and SMS ability mainly.
