My Z6m display time is adjustable. What pisses me off is every time the
Bluetooth DUN switches from PACKET DATA to DORMANT, or the PPP link drops
and reconnects because the Nokia N800 automatically reconnects when dumped
on idle, the phone thinks it MUST turn the display on to announce it in
text....which, of course, runs the battery down. There's no apparent way
to stop it. I run the battery down in about 6 hours every day and have
charging cords in all the cars, now.

It's Alltel's fault. They let me have unlimited service for $25/mo
extra....
