The FAA has stated that Cell Phones and wireless do not interfere with the navigation systems of an airplane. (Although I am a contractor for the FAA, this statement is not made in any official capacity - I read it in a newspaper).
My guess is that airlines don't like cellphones simply because they want to sell an overpriced service, which they will taut as being more user friendly...
The FAA decision was in the last year or two. For a non-US flight it doesn't mean beans of course.
