Can u TURN OFF PHONE yet still use it on a plane?

I have a simple question...Can you shut off ONLY the PHONE function so that you can use the apps and music player on a plane? Otherwise...it's a useless toy on a long trip. All this useless beauty? Is there anyway to know since nobody actually has one in their possession?

I would think they would make it with an Airplane mode. Most phones with music playing ability (ROKR, SLVR, V3i) all have this feature.
