Please reread, all the answers are already there. Our modem can NOT access anything, unlike some (android) smartphones that have shared RAM, our modem is a peripheral that's under control of the maemo/whatever linux system on the main CPU. For N900 the situation is the same, though the control and particularly surveillance over the BB5 modem in N900 is not as tight as will be on Neo900. We can not guarantee that the N900 modem is really offline when you switch it offline, there is a theoretical possibility that somebody installs a specially crafted spy-firmware on the modem that would make the modem connect to the network even in offline mode. However that would get noticed sooner or later.
