Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I guarantee that there will be fights on planes when this goes into affect. You put an edgy, nervous flyer next to a loud, obnoxious cell phone talker and you are going to get Jerry Springer action, hard core. Just hope they do not bring extra batteries or their extended battery on the trip.
Leave your cell phone off, enjoy not being contacted for the duration of your flight and I promise your phone will work when you land.

How is this different than:
before the door closes
right when the plane lands/taxi
existing satellite/air-to-ground phone systems
general conversation on board the aircraft
babies
loud engines
Its general, public air travel folks. Its a bus. If you don't like it, charter a jet. It will be a bit quieter.
Besides, any cell provider putting these cells on planes are going to have to still cover their costs. air-to-ground or satellite systems will cost a lot of money to complete a call. Its going to be business as usual. Those little $2 handsets you see on the back of the seat are not costing you $1.99/minute, its the backhaul.
The economy of making a call on a plane will probably keep the cabin as quiet as it was before ...

It's a lot different!
before the door closes
People are moving around getting settled so it's not as obvious
right when the plane lands/taxi
We're talking minutes not hours
existing satellite/air-to-ground phone systems
People don't use those ever, maybe because they cost an arm and a leg or maybe for the same reason people don't use pay phones anymore
general conversation on board the aircraft
For some crazy reason people feel they need to raise their voice to be heard on a cell p ...

We are all talking about when that plane is in the air and the seatbelt sign goes off. Once that happens, that airplane is pretty quiet. If you allow cell phones, everyone will be using there own. The following conversations will take place...
#1 -- The 17 year old girl with the valley girl voice and talks 300 words a minute and will talk until her cell phone battery dies.
#2 -- The eager business man that wants everyone to know how important he is conducting business on his cell phone.
#3 -- The loud, over passionate person who feels that they need to yell in their cell phone because they are on an airplane
#4 -- The person that tells everyone in their address book to call him/her but wants everyone to hear their new ringtone...
