Hi Elsie;
Thanks you for the lucid response... and I won't panic, I figure the K2 is smart enough to shut itself down when it is too low on power.
I just have the Whispernet on when its is doing _stuff_ - usually downloading. I have found surfing to be problematical at best...no fault of the K2, its not designed to be a webbook. Its controls and displays are just too crude for surfing. Fine. I didn't buy it to surf with. NP.
But, I do connect to the Whispernet network at work, since where I live at home I am on the fringe area of cell coverage. No cell phone coverage, amazingly, Whispernet works. But I assume at its 1X speed, not the G3 speed. Not sure, haven't noticed.
So, I will just carry the USB cord with me, or pick up a USB->microUSB to lug around and power off a puter when Im in the Big City.
Is the consensus here that the K2 is just not turned off.. you let it sleep even if you don't use it for a couple of days? This assumes Whispernet is OFF of course.
Thank you again for the gracious response to this newbie.
