yeah but you have to press and hold the power button in order to do a full power off. It's sorta hard to press and hold the power button when the car is bouncing around on the road. That's why I wanted to map the full power off to one of the buttons on the bottom of the pda like the calender button, so a single press and the x51v does a full power off.

I would just keep the x51v in suspend mode when not in the car, but I have this issue where when I put the x51v into suspend mode while it's in my Seidio powered car cradle, after like 20,30,50 minutes, etc... the screen turns on to this white blank screen and stays like that. The only way to get the pda to boot back up is to do a cancelled hard reset.

So I am not sure what's up with this white screen, but if that didn't happen I would just keep it in suspend mode at all times because it turns back on way faster when in suspend mode and also the battery drain during suspend mode is very very small. And since I am back in driving the car at least every 24 hours I don't think the x51v battery would go totally dead while in suspend mode. As soon as I turn the car back on the battery gets recharged through the car mount anyhow..
