'Mobile phone', 'net(work)' (or Internet?) and 'cellular phone' I'd say. Am I
right? (I ask also the question about the English translation I gave, I'm not
quite sure about them. In French they are "portable" - yes, the same word as for
laptops -, "réseau" or "toile" - the last one only for Internet - and "téléphone
cellulaire").
