hi,
you can not shutdown this kind of device except removing batery,
if you want to off phone
goto
Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Wireless Manager
you can see all wireless connections there..
chose Phone or what you want to off.. On/Off
you can on or off here all wireless connection include Phone..

@Duwenbasden ..... takin out the battery means crashing the system... even in a normal fones like nokia1100 its nt recommended

@dtsw2002 ....keepin the button pressed doesnt do anythin bro

@fuseki ....i kno how to turnoff wireless bro.... but it'll still eat battery.... there r times when i wud want to turn the damn fone off for a day.... or say i wanna change the sim... how the hell am i supposed to change the sim without crashing the system?

sorry, mate. That's how Pocket PCs behave. I remember my first time when I rode the airplane, and my HTC Himalaya was my first PDA Phone. I was really embarrassed, because I didn't even know how to turn off the phone then. :D

Now, why was it that way, because pocket PCs started with non-persistent storage memory. which means, all data will be gone when you remove the battery or drain the battery (this is more dorky). It wasn't until windows mobile 5 came out that persistent storage was introduced, and up to now, a system shutdown is still not introduced.

For the atom: I'm surprised why you would crash the system, when in fact, the atom will reboot once you re-insert the battery. You just turn-off (hibernate) the device prior to battery removal.

thanks jiggs

so in a PPC, taking out the battery while in hybernatation is OFFICIAL !!! actually this is my 1st experience with PPC & things r so different :D

& as u say, since atom is WM5, i dont loose ANY data even if i keep the fone without battery for 2days or forever? this is so cool !!! so ppc is now as reliable as symbian :)
