There's absolutely no debate whatsoever that a small number of cell phones in the passenger cabin (outside the cockpit) causes absolutely no problems.
There is some debate whether everyone running the cellphone in max power mode (seeking a base station) might be a problem.
I think you answered your own question, since you're alive to tell about it.
