I will be testing it out though, seeing if there is any drain in offline mode. It might also just be that hte battery was damaged since I often charge it from USB.
They have a standby mode, but Nokia has botched softpoweroff since before the Diablo release, and fixes will be "fixed in Fremantle", i.e.: "never for you".

Also, the ARM processor in the tablets is quite capable of scaling back power consumption automagically.
