Yeah, I saw the Mythbuster's episode on that as well. I'm a pilot and conducted my own radio/cell phone tests. I found that the cell phone does interfere with the radios in the plane. Have you ever had your phone next to your monitor and the monitor starts buzzing when the phone is up/down loading data or receiving a call and getting ready to ring? Same effect to a plane's radios. I personally observed this in a Cessna 172 and a Piper Warrior 161.
Not sure why it didn't work on Mythbusters, but it did for me.
