While i think the cell phone idea is about the worst idea i've heard today. Something about having an open mic all the time sounds horrible to me. Not to mention the countless other limitations of a phone call. Plus when you think about it, at the end of the day you're spending more money to make cell phones work than just buying radios like everyone else.
Anyway, I think what you guys are looking for is:
This is similar to what i use. I also use these at work, for noise cancellation and a little music if i want.

The MSR-2000 is a champion of a radio. We use these to communicate with our news vans out to a range of > 50 miles. Yes, you'll need an FCC license, and yes, they're a trifle on the large side, but they work great.

I was wondering if that was a Skylane you'd been posting photos from the cockpit of.
And judging by those photos, the NAV/COM in that panel wasn't cheap.

$1500 doesn't necessarily scare me if it means the radios will always work every time.
