Lighters out, cell phones in

call someone and have them wave the phone around. "can you hear me now?"

your cell phone reception isn't compromised when you wave it in the air.
You must follow the way of the master.

Multipath in buildings is crazy and some of these modulation schemes (CDMA I am pretty sure is like this) require extremely controlled signal amplitude at the phone. Waving it around will definitely lower reception ability since the amplitude varies with the multipath and the receiver is not able to keep the basestation informed fast enough about the gain variations. In a car, the environment is a lot easier to deal with.

I was at an Our Lady Peace show at 9:30 a few years ago, when the lead singer got a cell phone away from someone in the audience who was talking on it. The lead singer, Raine Maeda, got on the phone and started yelling at the person "why aren't you at our fucking show..do you think you can just listen and not have a ticket?". Then the band went into a really loud song with a lot of feedback and he held the phone up to the speakers and amps during all of the loud, obnoxiously squeaky parts. Great stuff!
There is nothing rock n' roll about holding up cell phones to create a collective light. Additionally, unlike fire, there is no danger involved (other than going over your minutes).

and you're not even using minutes by just opening your phone!
