I was allowed to use a phone during flight. Only two-way pagers and satellite phones were not allowed... It's only during take-off and landing that they ask you to turn off electronic devices. And while I didn't turn off my Mini (it is turned off as long as I don't turn a page...), I wouldn't even want to read during take-off and landing!



(it's almost embarrassing, btw, to hear all those "pings" from phones that are turned on again as soon as you touch down...)
