People on their phones rarely get in my way. I live in a big city and walk everywhere and it really isn't a problem. I wonder if people in smaller cities/towns are less adept at walking and using their phone, because people seem to get very upset about it. I only get upset when people stop in the middle of the sidewalk, which sometimes involves a phone and sometimes not.
