    providing I take out the sim card?

    Thanks

    i believe there is an 'offline' profile that turns off all of the
    'phone' features of the phone. there is on my 6630, so i presume the
    same for the n70

    There is a profile called 'Offline' that turns off the radio signal on the
    phone.

    Lots of sirlines still insist on the phone being turned off though. Best to
    ask and show them how it works.

    I think with hundreds of passengers, they're more likely just to say no (I
    would). As a passenger I would be pretty irritated to know that there was a
    ban on phones, yet there was some guy clearly using his. You may not be
    using it as a phone, but thats not the impression it would give. I really do
    think that the airline won't want the hassle involved - directly or
    indirectly.

    Just take the opportunity to enjoy the in-flight movie, read a book,
    perhaps talk to another passenger or even sleep.

    Which is no guarantee whatsoever that the flight crew will let you use it.

    At least one of the airlines I've flown with in the past year has
    instructed you to "switch of all mobile phones including those with an
    in flight mode" in their safety briefing.

    With instructions like that it's kinda pointless trying to reason with
    the stewardess :-(

    No even if you put it on offline mode. You have to switch the mobile off.

    Yes, here are the instructions

    - use your N70 discretely

    They are hardly going to say... i hope those headphones aren't
    connected to a mobile phone.. empty your pockets now..



    Besides, if the planes crashes, at least you can phone for help

    Remind me never to get on a plane with you.

    The no phone rule is there for a reason.

    Yes, mostly paranoia.

    I'd be more worried about getting cancer from the use of a phone
    personally and I'm not particularly worried about that.

    Well I fly regularly to Prague and I always hear SMS tones when we get close
    to landing. The number of people that don't switch off their phones is
    amazing. I always switch off my 6680, because that's the rules. Anyway I use
    my iPod Nano for listening to music/podcasts, so I don't have a need for it.

    Well said

    It's also just common sense.

    Otherwise wouldn't terrorists & suicide bombers just get on planes &
    leave their phones on...


    Jeez, stop believing everything people shove down your throat... (.e.g
    there's a 'god' in the sky who will grant you wishes)
