Yes, I know that all phones should be switched off, but I know plenty of pilot's who have their phones on at all times and this is not just a GA issue.
I doubt any pilot would be stupid enough to be using a phone whilst taking off, let alone just the ring or buzz from an incoming call/message being a distraction.
About as likely as a meteor hitting the plane.
