Ryan sums up my feelings. If I want my personal devices to preach tree hugging mantra I'd program it to do so myself or I'd download a piece of prewritten nagware. Unplugging the wall-wort will have an insignificant personal annual reduction in electrical consumption compared to switching one room light from incandescent to LED or CFL.

Nokia...please eliminate this nagging message in the very next firmware.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To the poster above who stated the Nokia wall wort draws zero watts and zero amps at idle, this statement has zero facts. The power consumption isn't zero but it is very very small.
The power consumed by the N8x0 power adapter when plugged in but idle is so small that simply leaving a room light on in an unoccupied portion of your house, apartment or office for as short as an hour consumes many times more that the Nokia N8x0 adapter, at idle, wastes in an entire YEAR. Leaving a television turned on when no one is watching it, running your car engine at idle unoccupied to heat or cool the interior waste huge amounts of energy compared to the N8x0 power adapter plugged in at idle (or even at full load). Tree huggers are so ignorant and misguided. <P>I expect more from Nokia. Please remove this silly, annoying message from the Maemo firmware.
