Sorry; Didn't get any notifications in e-mail and didn't notice the replies in the 'Most Recent' list ops:

Clarifications:
Yes, this was *OFF* off - Powered down and unplugged. (I don't know if it was *actually* off, or just pretending 'tho. The screen and power lights were off and unresponsive.)


I'm skeptical about the on-off vs powersaving thing.

Even if booting used a lot of power, it shouldn't have been able to drain a ~90% battery down to nothing in one boot! In fact, the first time that happened to me the unit didn't even complete it's boot up cycle - I just saw the Nokia logo (Not the hands one, the first one!) for about 8 seconds then it all went dark!

The fact that the powersaving stuff doesn't appear to be working anyway (For kicks, I just shut it down, then turned it back on to make sure it was 'fresh', charged it up to max and then left it to see how long it'd stay on for. The screen dimmed and shut off, WiFi and Bluetooth were off, no applications running. Result? ~4 hours!)
