I have passcode on iphone but sometimes i need to give my iphone to other to make calls. I want to make specific things password protected, things like mail, sms, contacts and some games.

Is it possible?

Apps have to implement that on their own. – Eugene Bujak Apr 4 '11 at 13:29

I don't think that this is possible either. Get a bluetooth headset and share only that for calls instead of your whole iPhone :) – nuc Apr 4 '11 at 14:15

While there is no way to get this functionality "out of the box", you can take advantage of "Restrictions" to accomplish what you want.

In the Settings App, tap General, then Restrictions. You can Enable Restrictions and then Don't Allow Any Apps. It's not as convenient, as you have to go through some menus, but it should work.
