I don't have a lot of experience with cell phones, but mine can be 
turned off.   To turn it off complete you press and hold the power key 
until a screen comes up that gives a couple of options.   On is to turn 
of the cell phone.   When you press the power button, it goes through 
the complete start up routine that it went through when purchased.
