Why do you want it completely off?

I think that's normal for pocket pcs isn't it? I know the XDA2 was the same. Feels weird at first but you get used to it.

Putting it in flight mode then turning the screen off is the closest you can get. Or you can take the battery out to turn it off completely, but that's just ball ache :lol:

Well, sometimes I don't use it for a few days, so I'd like it off...

If I take the battery out, then out it back in, it stays off until the power button is pressed, that's the kind of app I'd like. Like psshutXP, but that really turns it off...

Maby there's no way to do this though

Yea, I'm used to it, having owned a few different PPC's, I just figured that a device that doesn't lose all info when the battery runs out should have a proper off button :wink:

A lot of functions including POWER OFF but I!m a user of Wizard (has off function itself) so nor sure works for u :roll:

VJEschaton can turn it off (it's never quite off, but close enough), using the option -sleep

Press the power button several seconds and you will see a popup showing ...."the pda will turn off". Then your pda will be completly turned off (no phone, no energy, etc)

Not on my QTek9000, all that does is turn the backlight off...
