I was just looking at my cell phone battery. It is a 3.7 volt 900mah lithium ion rechargeable. Thin, small and flat, would be perfect for a box mod. Has anyone tried this?Phone battery?

I think it would work as good as any 900mah battery, but the cylindrical generic batteries are a bit cheaper. Of course they are so thin, you could probably get 2 in there.
Since that's a 0.9AH, 3.7V battery; and, assuming that you'd want the range of low to standard resistance atty or carto range to use it with, you're talking about drawing anywhere from 1A to 2.5A of current from the battery (assuming a load resistance of 1.5Ω to 3.5Ω). The C-rating of that battery needs to be 3C or higher, or you'll probably destroy the battery (if the internal resistance is low enough to permit sourcing that kind of current in the first place). Cell phone batteries aren't famous for high C-ratings (because cell phones don't generally place high current demands on their batteries), nor are they famous for graceful deaths when they are over-taxed.
You could try it, but I suspect that your results will be less than spectacular.

Ive got a mod with 2 1000mah lipos, Variable watts, works well, 2+ days charge time and recharges are quick 35-40 mins 9V 1A, balanced 2C charger on board. Not sure whether they are specifically cellphone cells, but they are similar form factor. Mod is a sealed box, charges through the 510 connector.
its the one hiding behind the lighter
