PHX....how many airlines do you work for now? You get told this all the time. Your pension (if there are any left) will be great.

This is a case where the "nice" FA's make it hard for the others to make sure the rules are enforced. When a passenger gets some leeway once, he/she makes the argument," They let me do it in xxx" It's unfortunate and makes the "bad" FA look like a monster when he/she is actually doing what is correct.

To the OP....you said " never said I will not obey the "orders" and keep my phone ON no matter what !!!!"

I think you have missed the point. You were told (your own words), "But the lady attendant wanted it switched off "NOW", and "Another attendant came and asked to switch my phone "NOW"

You were not following the request of the crew. That's a no-no nowadays. As Jim said, might have been a power-drunk FA and I tend to agree but one should really follow the requests of a crew member or bad things can happen.
