reading this perspective of guy kewney i wanted to say, "duh!" but since that term is so eighth-grade, i refrained. i routinely have to travel with 5-6 cell phones, and i very rarely if ever turn any of them off, and if i do, it's to save the battery.
using cell phones on planes would sure create some annoying situations, but i'm all for it - more for data access than voice. retreiving mobile email and texting sure would be helpful in a whole lotta cases.
oh, and here's a secret - if you can still find one of those mobitex RIM blackberries - they work over much of the U.S. and Eastern Canada, especially when you fly over metropolitain areas. in old BellSouth country which now belongs to Cingular, you can get blackberry email between Atlanta and Orlando no problem almost the entire flight. two bars in the window seat the entire way.
