One crucial bit of info missing from your segment on cell phone interference is that the distinctive "ta.. ta-da-da... ta-da-da..." chatter is a side-effect exclusive to phones with TDMA technology (used by Cingular, T-Mobile, etc.), and does not happen with CDMA phones (Verizon, Sprint, etc.).
Also, to piggyback off the first comment... I think you guys need to drop a teensy bit of money on audio production software that includes a compressor, or if you've already got a compressor, start using it! Yes, the volume level is too low, but it also has too wide a dynamic range. In a work environment that means that in order to get the volume loud enough to hear in quiet sections it's going to get way too loud when you guys get more animated. Compressors are *made* for this type of situation... they let you maximize your volume while constricting the dynamic range.
