That blows.. but thanks for letting me know.
Looks like for me its still faster to go offline mode then lock screen and keys. What does softpoweroff buy me over that?

The tablet needs a certain amount of time to sort itself out before the menu-standby will work again. I don't get this with softpoweroff.

Also, powering up the device doesn't need two keypresses, just the long keypress on the power key.

Please see the thread I hinted at earlier.

Sorry, for the late response, I work the late shift. Yes I know about the 2 timer settings that have to be equal, but that is not the point. Let's say I read e-mail/rss, it's okey for the system top drop the brightness w/o turning off the screen when it time out. But if I hit the power combo buttons, that mean mean I did that on purpose, I want to put it away, and therefore it make more sense to pretty much shut everything down w/o powering off. While letting it timeout doesn't neccessary mean you want to put the unit away. That's why the two settings shouldn't be the same, but there should be a shortcut key to do what the 770 does when the cover is on.

The result was -- in hindsight predictably -- disastrous: on the 770 you could turn off BT and the applet would grey out, but stay on the menu bar of the home screen. On the N800, if you turn off BT, you have to go through Control Panel every freakin' time to turn it back on again.
Way to go, Nokia. Idjits!
