I wonder if there is something new in the regulations concerning in-flight use of WiFi. My brand-new SonyEricsson P990 has a "Flight mode" which turns off the GSM, UMTS, Bluetooth and WiFi tranceivers, and disables the FM-radio just like its predescessors (P800, P900 etc), but (and this is a big "but") the WiFi can be enabled independently of the "Flight mode". This is not a bug, it is explicitly mentioned several times in the manual that this is the way it is supposed to work. Isn't some airlines experimenting with in-flight WiFi sercvices?
