Even if the airlines wanted to let you use your phones, they couldn't, because they cannot override this FCC regulation. It's true that cell phones generally have no effect on aircraft systems. And the FCC forbids their use in flight because it worries about the load on the cell network, not because it worries about their effect on the aircraft. The FAA does not specifically prohibit the use of cell phones, and it hasn't really looked into it. FAA regulations merely say that airlines must not permit the use of personal electronic devices in flight unless they have determined that the devices do not interfere with aircraft systems. Most airlines don't want to go to the trouble of doing that, so they just prohibit electronic devices in flight—although airlines don't actually follow the regulations to the letter, nor does the FAA enforce them to the letter.

Cell phones can interrupt this radio bands to the point that you can't barely hear it. That's why they ask you to turn them off.

"They" say it will cause problems with the aircraft electronics - however aircraft and their electronics have sufficient shielding to prevent such issues. Myth Busters did a test on the claim and it yielded no problems to aircraft instruments. Exactly.
