Re: Scratch on cell phone
Well that's a rather vague suggestion..how would it work? I see a few problems with this:
1) How could keyboard keys be programmed into so many different phones (I assume you're talking about dumb phones here) running various operating systems with different keypad/qwerty configuration?
2) a. If you're talking about dumb phones, I doubt a Scratch project would be very practical on such a small screen. Besides, what about mouse oriented interactivity?
b. If you're talking about smart phones, this has already been suggested countless times.

Re: Scratch on cell phone
Scratch on mobile devices has been suggested countless times in the past, and has been resolved just as many times: it just takes too much effort from the Scratch team to develop a whole new application from the ground up that very few people will actually end up using. There is such a variety of phones on the market, too; it would be hard to choose just one platform to develop for.

It seems like this would be a really tricky application to make and use on a mobile phone that has keys. But wasn't there a Scratch application for the iPhone?
There was! Unfortunately, you couldn't make projects, just run them. It wasn't developed by the Scratch Team themselves, and was removed because it violated Apple's policy about code interpreters.
