I spent most of my career in cellular, so I was curious about this. See a summary of the NY laws at the link. To me there is a fine line between "use of a cellphone" and "talking on a cellphone", but the part about "Text messaging and related uses of handheld electronic devices banned" is probably applicable here. Perhaps you were entering an address into the GPS function using a keyboard-type interface when the cop saw you?
In any case, I don't know how you can possibly fight this from SC.
