Is is possible somehow to distinguish between the phone being off or sleeping without turning it on in the process (this happens when pressing the power button)?
I appreciate that I can just use silent or airplane mode rather than turning it off, but was interested to see if there was a way.

I don't think you can. I just did some tests and even the slightest press of the power button will turn it on if it is actually powered off. I didn't like the having to press the power button to 'wake' up the phone myself. Would prefer if you could hit the home button or similar as a long press.
This is for the HTC 1. You'll have to see if it works for you. The charge light is red when the phone is off, and orange when it's on. Obviously, that's with the charger connected.
