I think it is pretty common, as is facebooking. I do, however, think it is unbelievably disrespectful when people sit back in full view of the professor and sit there texting for the full 50 minutes, but I have never really had a professor say anything. The policy for tests in every class I've ever taken has been phone=F, as in if the prof sees your phone at all, that is grounds for failure. If you're not going to pay attention in class, then why come?
