What I ended up doing is:
- turn off cua mode
(cua-mode 0)
- turn on org-support-shift-select (should be on by default)

This way shift-select works in text, and shift arrow works in headlines 
and timestamps.

You can find a discussion about this here:

There may be a way to bind "fn-rightarrow", but you then need to 
actually bind the "end" key directly. Here is what I do (I use fn as 
meta key, so I'm binding to different things):

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (define-key org-mode-map [kp-enter] 'org-meta-return)
	    (define-key org-mode-map [prior] 'org-metaup)
	    (define-key org-mode-map [next]  'org-metadown)
	    (define-key org-mode-map [home] 'org-metaleft)
	    (define-key org-mode-map [end] 'org-metaright)
	    ))

Hope this helps,
