It is pretty stupid not to have a way to turn it off from the browser....

Thanks! I downloaded networkdown.prc. And I couldn't agree more that's it is much too ridiculous not to have a way to turn it off from the browser. Palm should simplify it and enable disconnect by tapping the network strength indicator that also shows if GPRS is active.

Installed the camera patch (even though 680 is purchased after Jan '07), switched off bluetooth and downloaded networkdown.prc; net result = battery life up to almost 36 hours with regular usage. What bugs me is having to switch off bluetooth everytime!
