United: Cell phone use allowed after landing

I just got an email message from United Airlines that says customers will now be able to use their cell phone right after landing. More details can be found in the Press Release.
Beginning today, you may use cell phones* shortly after landing on all domestic United flights after the aircraft has left the active runway and is taxiing toward the gate. Flight attendants will make an announcement advising you when it’s safe to use your phone. For safety reasons, you will not be allowed to leave your seat during taxi to retrieve your phone. On departure, you may use cell phones on domestic and international flights only when the aircraft door is open. Two-way radios are not allowed for use anytime aboard the plane.
