Hey, probably a 100000000000 people know this, but anyway:

yes, you can use your w800 camera while in flight mode...to do so, just press the arrow key until you reach the mode menu (the one where you choose to turn on telephone or just music)
once at that screen, you open your camera lens...it will bring you to the camera, without turning on the TF RF of the phone...so you will be able to take pics where u cant use a phone (like in an airplane)
W810i + 2gb Sony MSDP (not fake...the real thing)

yes it does...on both firmwares you guys said...
there's just a detail: it only works if you lock the keypad....
so, once on the menu, you lock your keys and then you open the slider...(or lens cover)
there you go!

Doesn't work on mine anymore. It did with R1N035 but I have just updated my firmware to R1AA008 and I have just tried several different ways including locking the phone but still no luck for me.

Great tip for those that can get it to work

It's a shame as I was looking forward to using this option next time I fly

Thanks for the tip, specially the small detail (lock keys while on the mode menu)

I have R1AA008, ITP SW Version is R1G
