The Cell Phone thing seems to change based on Events. As a student, I would often text my teammates right up to when I would announce our selections - heck on Curie in 2009 I did the entire Alliance Selection while Talking on my cell phone. IMO, as long as the person puts the phone down when speaking into the mic, it's not really an issue - and those reps that are on a phone are usually unprepared....

Also, it appears that the GDC doesn't mind what Aids you bring to the field, as long as it's not another person and doesn't interrupt the flow of of selections. (Maybe if more teams brought a computer or used a cell phone during alliance selections we could avoid the all too common "look at the board for 2 minutes and pick a team at random")
