How to turn off the device off (not just standby mode)?
I can cope with that one :) Tap opn the signal icon in the top, when the boc drops down, there is an option to turn on 'flight mode'. This stops it receiving a reception.

How to add sort cuts into the today window?

I believe this is only done by adding third party software. I bought Pocket Plus (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en) and can highly recommend it. I think this also solves your 'stopping programs' problem too.

I wondered the one about switching apps myself actually. With my iPaq there was a iTask button, or something like that.

if you have pocket plus (can highly recommend as well) tap and hold in the top right hand corner and it will have a list of whats running, select from there.

This a great little tool for closing all your running programmes - and it's free. (doesn't close activesync though)

for closing and switching tasks i'm using DTSysview.
Assigned the IE h/w button to it, makes things easy to manage

there are many task apps you can use. it really comes down to which app you prefer, freeware or shareware. i use wisbar advance because of the pretty skins, the option to minimize or completely close any running apps from the taskbar. i am also a fan of cascading start menu.

i use psShutXP to restart my unit, turn off the back light, and shut down the unit.

lastly, i use HandyLauncher for quick access to my Top 10 apps.

I am using HandySwitcher to switch from application to application and closing the active applications... It works perfect for mel....
