Just woundered if you are allowed to use your phone on a plane in walkman only mode. do people worry when they see you using it. are you allowed to use it. going italy soon so wil buy an mp3 player if you cant use w810 on plane

it totally depends on the airlines own policy.
British Airways and Qantas both allow you to put the phone into flight mode before take off and then use it during the flight up to when the plane starts descending (in the case of Qantas) or (someway down the descent in the case of BA)

well i had the phone in flight mode when i was with ryan air, listening to music and flicking through the party pics we took. I wasn't told anything, although i cant actually say if anyone saw me using it. I guess you might as well ask the stewards at some point during the flight.

Never had any problems using it - a flight attendant once told me using mobile phones was prohibited- I explained I had it in plane mode and everything was fine.
Yea- it's awesome to listen to music on your cellphone in the plane. Beats their lousy cracky headphones anyday.

emirates, singapore airlines, cathay pacific, virgin airlines, egypt air, saudi arabian airlines, royal jordanian airlines, alitalia, gulf air, kuwait airways & air france.
i have taken long haul flights on all these airlines & used various phones in offline/flight mode while on board & never had a problem.
i would like to add that flight crew is always easy on 1st class passengers.
