When British carmaker Mini began its push in the U.S., its motto was "The SUV backlash officially starts now." Now it appears a U.K. mobile phone retailer is leading the e-mail backlash. The CEO of Phones 4U Ltd. has banned e-mail from his 2,500-employee company. But he doesn't see his order as a ban -- he thinks he's freed his staff from their computer captors. John Caudwell said that he got tired of seeing his staff spend hours in front of their computers; he would rather they interact with colleagues and customers in the flesh or, of course, on the phone. Now all we need is for a PC maker to ban cell phones.
