Am somewhat reassured by that, although as Mychaela mentioned, with black box 
software there's no way to know for sure what it's doing. Seems like a 
reasonable assumption that airplane mode is to prevent a hit on battery life if 
the phone repeatedly attempts and fails to sit on a cell tower though. The idea 
that a phone in normal mode might interfere with airplane electronics is pretty 
risible.

Anyway I've solved my dilemma in this way. The android phone my daughter 
discarded, with OSM maps added is streets ahead of the dedicated Garmin gadget 
I have. So the sane thing is to leave that in airplane mode, treat it as a GPS 
device only and use a calypso phone for actual phone usage and not carry it 
with me.

I'm currently using a Pirelli, but - @ Mychaela - I have located my freerunner 
*and* the unlock cable, co I'm going to put a saved dump from an early C139 
(now lost) on the new C139 to get around it being locked to a single provided 
:-)
