Now I'm even more confused. Are you saying:
  1. 30 minutes idle = power saving mode
  2. 2-3 second switch flick = standby mode
  3. ?? minutes after standby = off (but is it not true 'off' since they say it's allows the device to start up quickly?)

So does <2 second switch flick do anything? I thought 1 and 2 were the same mode but I could be wrong.

I'm sensing there is a language problem and tech support people that are not speaking from experience with the actual device.

I'm not sure I like where this is going. Seems a bit uncertain or random. Reminds me of the reports of the iliad flipbar randomly turning multiple pages even with a short flick (I guess irex could have worked around this issue by having an option to disable the flipbar's long-flick feature).
