I have been told it is illegal to use your cell phone in the air
because it is line of sight and will interfer with multiple towers at
the same time. (Also the way they catch you at it when your call gets
picked up by towers normally way out of range).

Cingular GSM phone reception mostly doesn't work. I believe it is
legal from both the FCC's and FAA's perspective though.

Has anyone had experience with getting real-time graphic weather
updates on internet capable phones, such as Apple's new iPhone?
Being able to "see" (and avoid) storm cells on your flight path
would be great for cross country flights.
