It's been demostrated that cellphones do not interfere with comunication or navigation systems on a 99%, but there's still a 1% and that represents a safety risk. T610 Powered

Why do you need GPRS? get a PDA or Centrino to get the full surfing experience in plane ... ok mean while I remember one BBC news report saying the signal transmitted in the plane will be weaker than the signal between the plane and the air traffic control on the ground. So the phone signal cannot interfere. Didn't really know what this mean but they have ensure it won't interfere. Come on....we are talking AIRBUS...The company who is the first to bring in Fly by Wire and A380. Anyway I just hope no air line will install those equipment....or maybe they can built a special room just like the wash room....then you can see people start que up for phone call beside going for a dump hahaha
