There is absolutely no difference. Mobile origanally came from when phones were in the car. Cell phones came after the became more "mobile". The term cell relates to the different cell sites that your call transfer throughs as you are talking and moving along.

There is no difference. Originally 'mobile phone' was used, because the concept that a phone could be 'mobile' was exciting and new. As mobile phones became more common, it became an out-dated term, as the use of the words "cell phone" became more popular.

Just 2 different terms for the same thing--in the USA they say 'cell phone'--in Europe and elsewhere,they use the term 'mobile phone'.
