David, While you are right about the interference reason, the second statement, I believe, is not accurate.
I am not sure how long ago you have flown, but the trend I see is that those phone are removed from the modern aircrafts. As a matter of fact, none of the aircrafts I've flown this year (over 40 flights on American, Continental, Delta, Finnair, Frontier, Southwest, S7, Estonian Air) had built-in phones.
