It looks like Nokia has actually been listening to us, and there is now an improved suspend mode. It's a shame it is not enabled by default, but it is quite easy to do yourself:

The file you need to modify is /etc/mce/mce.ini

First, modify the powerkey actions to suit you, making sure one of them does a softpoweroff. This is what mine look like:
Code:
PowerKeyShortAction=softpoweroff
PowerKeyLongAction=menu
Then, under the SoftPowerOff section, modify the ConnectivityPolicy options. This is what mine look like:
Code:
# Connectivity policy when running on battery
#
# Valid options:
# forceoffline - always go to offline <default>
# softoffline - offline only if there are no open connections
# retain - do not change the network status
ConnectivityPolicyBattery=forceoffline

# Connectivity policy when powering on from soft poweroff
# Note that this policy only affects the connectivity state
#
# Valid options:
# offline - stay offline <default>
# restore - restore state from before soft poweroff
ConnectivityPolicyPowerOn=restore

That's nice. When it's debugged, it will bring back some of the convenience of the 770's cover (with additional options).

softpoweroff still has not been fixed in 1.2007.44-4

In fact it is now even worse than before: the screen and keys are totally unlocked! ie: they wake up the screen. So all softpoweroff does is blank the screen without any kind of lock...

Come on Nokia, it should not be that difficult to fix. It used to be working well in 2007; I don't see how adding offline mode could break it so much.

At least it's changing, so it means it is being worked on, and I hope it will be fully functional for the final release.
