I believe Nokia is missing a psychological factor here. Putting the
cover on the 770 allows the user to forget about it. He finished using

That's exactly how I feel about it.
Me too, and I'm getting the impression from this thread that Nokia are trying
to insist the customer is wrong in this case (pun not intended!) :)
I'm happy to be always ON at home, always ON when I'm on the train into the office but when I get off that train I want
to be OFF! To achieve this flexibility I want/need a quick (and I mean really quick - no faffing about with multiple
button presses and/or menu options) way to put the N800 into the same state of slumber the 770 goes into when the cover
is put on. The current "Lock touchscreen..." option leaves the screen iluminating the inside of my pocket,
and "Soft Poweroff" hack doesn't disable WiFi/BT. Also, I want to avoid using the "Power" button to
instigate the "cover-on" event as the Power button is not designed for regular use.
To this end I've raised bug #943
(https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=943) but it seems the Nokia devs
(or is it Nokia marketing?) are pretty hard core about telling us how *we*
should be using *our* new friend, so I'm not entirely sure where this will get
us. :(
Anyone interested in bug/enh #943, please post comments in Bugzilla. :)
