I guess the N900 has an "offline" mode as all the other Nokias do.
I'm more worried about switching the N900 off for takeoff and landing, while the device itself is not meant for that. Do I need to re-open all of those web pages I left open before shutdown?

When i flew from Amsterdam to Vancouver, in Economy Class with KLM, you could use your laptop (even the internet), phone, camera, ipod, gameboy, psp, etc. no problemo - basically anything, even making phonecalls via a special phone on board which everyone had in their seat and which worked with a credit card. To cut things short, you can use the N900 on a plane without doubt, but just to be sure, turn off GSM (turn on "offline mode").

There is an "airplane"/"offiline" mode as others have mentioned that turns off all the transmitters. Also, if you need the wifi/bluetooth while in flight (if allowed by your particular airline), you can remove the SIM card to disable the gsm radio while leaving the other radios on.

YES, there is an offline mode.
This does not apply for takeoff and landing.
If I switch off the N900 from "20 processes open", will it return to that state after the compulsory "everything off" ?

If everyone took your attitude, then what difference would it make if the pilots showed up drunk ... surely that also happens on some 'frequent' basis, also without incident as you say. Please do us all a favour and stay at the boarding gate rather than compromise safety in the air.
if you do some research on the internet you will find it is all a complete fraud that your phone interferes with the airlines navigations systems. think how many flights occur every day. if even 1% of people sneakily used their phones during take off / landing (like I always do becuase it a crock of sh1t), chances are you would have seen some kind of crash or problems. in all the years that mobiles have been carried on planes, i have yet to even hear a rumour of such a thing.
so I say, turn it all on....bluetooth, wireless, point the infrared at pilot, you name it...live on the edge people

to individually power the various radios off or on?
(Neglecting an FM radio depending on bluetooth being on.)
