I think the person above me hit the nail on the head in "technical" terms.
I lived 4 years in England though---and they called the phones "mobile" pronounced *mow-bile* regardless of the type.
Here in the US I've noticed people call them cell phones regardless of type.
It's like calling any cotton swab a q-tip. It may not be a q-tip but it's how people refer to it.

It's the same thing. I think Americans prefer to call them cell phones when in reality they are are mobile phones. Like it's really that hard to say is it?
