Actually there is no way to power off the Apache without draining/pulling the battery. A short press of the power button puts the phone in standby. A long press of the power button turns the backlight completely off. The numerous applications that offer a "power off" function will either suspend the device or soft reset it, depending on the app. There is no way for a software program or button to completely shut off the Apache. The only way you can do that is to disconnect the battery.

Note that is not true with some newer HTC devices (such as the Wizard, Titan/Mogul, etc.) which have changed the functionality of the power button such that a long press will actually turn the device (including the phone) completely off.
