Christo, on a well shielded system, no interference occurs but as with everything, shielding isn't perfect and radio waves can get through causing the interference that Richfzs mentioned. Like I said, it CAN affect things but its not guaranteed.
Lets put it another way. When your riding your bike and entering a really busy junction with traffic coming from all directions and only a small gap to filter through whilst being forced to listen to your sat nav for last second changes in direction, do you want something to start clicking randomly in your ear? That's effectively what the pilots have to put up with when trying to land at a busy airfield as all the phones on the plane suddenly realise that they can and will try to talk to the local telephone masts.
I think they should ban phones on trains too just to save me from having to listen to their conversations, nowt to do with safety though.
