+1 , please be gentle with the cellphone rule. If we can turn them on after we land, we should be able to keep them on while we are taxiing . I am not saying if there's a 2 minute delay, but if we are #60 for takeoff (LGA, it has happened!) , relax the rule.
I say more info the better, and I also agree with the prudent use of the seatbelt sign.
