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. :(
Absolutely nowhere would be my guess. I raised two bugs in december
2005 about the email app and they're still not fixed.
Considering one of them renders the mail app unusable (message
removal from another system is not recognised by the app) I'd say
your chances of getting a fix are close to none.
