Flight mode is part of the phone devices. I wasn't aware that it was
on the non-phone wireless devices. Was it a third party app doing that
for you? If it was part of the ROM, doing a hard reset would have no
effect. Two things come to mind:

1) It is in ROM but you have installed a third party addon/driver that
is conflicting with it.

2) It isn't in ROM and you are now missing a third party or even HP
driver that added that functionality in.

Very interesting. Thanks. I wonder if this is the norm and I've just
never seen it because with a phone, it always has a connection?

I have enabled and disabled WiFi several times over the last few days
using the iPaq Wireless Connections screen, yet I still don't have the
'flight mode' function.

As far as I know, it is part of the current ROM, not part of a 3rd party
add-on, but I don't know why I don't have it now.
