Hello,

I would like to disable/turnoff the GSM (2G as well as 3G) module of the device. This option is available in Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Android (ver 2). After long searches in settings I couldn't find it. Is it really missing (how lame that would be)?

install "cellular modem control buttons" from app. manager.
gives you tablet mode option (no gsm, only wifi) from power button press

There is such a thing already, well sort of. Not a desktop widget but a status menu plugin. It adds a line to the status menu with three buttons for GSM, WiFi and Bluetooth. It's called Advanced Interface Switcher. If you want to duplicate the functionality, just look it up. It is a set of Python scripts, it should be easy to work out how it works. I had a look a while ago but forgot all of it, sorry.

If it's commands that you are after, this should tell you everything you need to know.

Yeah, I was going through the desktop command wiki, the:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:false | echo ""
does disable gsm/3g modem just fine, but

There is no way, or I just could not fine one that will disable the wi-fi, or go into full offline mode.

The ICD2 command from that page works for me.

Code:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.icd2 /com/nokia/icd2 com.nokia.icd2.disconnect_req uint32:0x8000
