I have recently purchased an iPAQ 2490 to replace my Dell Axim X51 that died.
On the Axim there is an option to do a complete power off - you simply hold the power button for a while - 2 or 3 seconds I think - and the unit powers off completely. Is there such a feature on the iPAQ 2490? I've tried pushing the button but the thing keeps coming back off standby for the ActiveSync even if it's not connected.
I have applied a 'cheat' found on another forum in relation to setting a new ActiveSync server and then setting the update to manual - I wait with baited breath to see if this solves the powering up issue.
But I'd still like the option to completely power off.
