There are usually a few cigarette boats putting out 100 decibels. Unless they are wearing ear protection, they must have a hearing aid in their future. :-)

If I don't want to be "connected" I just turn the phone off but I still have it with me in case of emergency.

That's an idea. But for me it adds weight.

I don't have to worry about turning it off since in my back pocket I can't hear it.

My bike phone, an Apple 4S, doesn't ring because nobody has the number except my family, who don't make idle phone calls, and my closest cycling buddies, who call if they're going to be late to the meeting place but for all other purposes call my other numbers or write to me.
