However my point is that since the device is becoming more and more usable as a mobile terminal, it's only obvious that it will gain some of the features a mobile terminal has. If you don't like them, switch them off (actually you could enjoy timed self poweron / poweroff with a simiple script if that's what is annoying you), but others might want them, so they are available. I could understand the complaints if you were _forced_ to keep it always on, but that's not the case. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa at nokia.com> (Nokia M - OSSO /Helsinki Finland)
