You can (with help og GSM positioning) save your current geografical location.
And then add events to theese locations.
Example:
When coming home tha locations changes and you have an event that switches bakground (silly example)
or, when going to the cinema the phone automaticly switches to flightmode.
and so on.
Problem is that you must first visit every location in order to get the "cell id". But it is a one time job.
Note: There are many events you can bind to the cells and one is named "Log out flight mode", What I wonder is taht if the phone is in flight mode.. how can it read the current cell so that it know when to switch...

However, it seems unlikely.

Bear in mind that the Cell you are in at any given time covers quite a large area, so it's not possible to be *really* precise.
The author of BlueGPS has said he will look at putting the "event trigger" facility into a future version of BlueGPS, so you can perform actions based on your GPS-determined location. That will be quite precise!

Yes, first day I was naive and saved one cell for my officeroom and later I wanted to save the cell for the toilet 50 meters away, could be handy to put phone i flight mode and if I want to play a game while doing number 2... but they were same cellnumber...
