Anything you do in your car besides keeping your hands at the 10-and-2 position and your head straight looking out the windshield is a distraction. Singing along to your radio, changing the station, having a conversation with a passenger, drinking a cup of coffee are all distractions. The cell phone is just one more distraction. I'll read in papers about an accident and how it may have been caused by a person who was distracted by a cell phone conversation; you never hear the media report that there was an accident caused by someone distracted from changing radio stations or putting on their lipstick but I'm sure it happens frequently. I'm sure all of us have changed radio stations or adjusted the volume and realized that we're steering our cars off the road a bit. It happens and it's not just from cell phone.
ETA:
Are there states that have made driving and talking on your cell phone illegal? I've heard that there are a few.
