Handsets get taken to the grave

The BBC reports this story, which just takes things way too far! My first thought was confirmed in this article, that many people want them just in case they wake up. It goes on to suggest that these gadgets are status symbols for some people, which reminds us of how different meanings are attached to the same technological artefacts. It's not just a mobile phone!
