I am currently working on a comparative (US and UK) study of teenagers' use of mobile phones and I've outputted my Endnote file onto a web page.
Mobile Phones/SMS/Text Messaging http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~nalinik/mobile.html
Most of the research is not US-specific, but may still be of use to you and others. I'm always looking for additions, so if anyone has references to add, I'm pleased to hear about them.
I am also working on a comparative (US and Japan) study of adolescents' use of wireless phones. I greatly appreciate your sharing of your bibliography. I have some additions though some of them may be a bit dated and not related to behavioral aspects of wireless phone use: Beaubrun, R. and Pierre, S. (2001).
