I think there is a danger in getting hung up on definitions when discussing a phenomenon that is really poorly understood. I've had discussions on this line with Paul. Imagine trying to define fire if you were an ancient, just setting out to explore its properties!
However, the following definition seems to include much of psi:
PSI is the use of the mind (human or animal) to perform something that clearly breaks the laws of physics as currently understood.
Thus ESP would be psi, talking to someone on their mobile would not be!
