Thought I'd mention the change that came in on Tuesday 7 June 2005.
The only reason why I even noticed this change was because on my Monday morning flight to Sydney the air fight attendant looked at my Treo 600 PDA (which was was happily playing Holdem Poker) and asked if that was a mobile phone. I told her it was a PDA with a mobile phone but I had flight mode turned on so it was not transmitting anything.
She then asked me to turn it off and distracted me with mentioning the change in rule was going to allow me to use the phone from tuesday onwards.
Looking at the actual article I don't think she knew what she was talking about but since I was losing my $$$ I decided to comply and get a quick 30 min nap before landing.
