There was similar discussion several times here. I won't go into technical details, because I do not think you would appreciate them.

Do you think that during recent TERRORIST scare, when over-eager, badly trained, TSA goons confiscate just about *anything*, from bottles of clear water, nail clippers, nail files to small penknives, they would let you enter airplane with a mobile phone, bluetooth wireless handsfree, wifi-enabled netbook, PDAs ... if said electronic components could cause malfunction of an airplane?

Do you think that NTSB would let an airplane to be used for transport if it could be badly affected by electronics that virtually every passenger uses?
So, you are one of those guys who said "Regulations are not for me 'cause i know better" ? Speed limits are not for you when you know you can handle to drive faster ?

Basically it doesn't matter if 3G usage on the plane could crash it, or not (you may right about that). If it's forbidden where's the point to ignore it ?
