The best way is to do it like Nokia:
- one short press on power to popup the menu, some other short presses
to navigate the menu items, one long press to select.
- or one long press to directly suspend/shutdown (in fact, that selects
the first menu item)
That's really really handy. The Nokia menu can shutdown, lock or change
profile.
