It's illegal here AFAIK, at least in the two states I regularly drive in. I see people doing it all the time - on the freeway in heavy traffic, even in cars that almost certainly have bluetooth and hands-free standard (I was shopping for a late model econo box earlier in the year, and most models except for the very cheapest had hands-free).
I personally won't touch my phone while I'm driving unless the transmission is in Park. It'd be difficult to do so without disconnecting it from my car, Android Auto (which I use extensively) requires a USB connection to my car, and I use an exceptionally short cable to do it so I won't ever be tempted. I don't have to take my hands off the wheel or attention off the road for a call or a text if I must, which I rarely do.
