Pressing the Power and Volume-down buttons simultaneously will reboot the phone.

Reboot

You actually need to hold the Power and Volume down for 10 seconds. If you only press them you end up tacking a screen shot. But I fully agree that Motorola needs to add a Restart function rather then just a shut down, wait a few seconds and press power again to start the phone again.

If you root the phone and add a custom ROM, depending on which rom you flash too, it will offer:

REBOOT
SHUTOFF
RECOVERY
BOOTLOADER
OR RESTART

Please note that rooting your phone will render your warranty useless...it also may BRICK your phone, depending on what ROM you use.

I have rooted 2 Android phone, the Thunderbolt and the RAZR MAXX (no HD). The TBolt was easy and the MAXX was easy also, just took more reading and researching.

I do agree that the power thing is a pain, and holding it down for 10 seconds is somewhat dumb, but I understand.

I am waiting for Jelly Bean to get to it.
I have worked on my servers remotely using citrix (Citrix Receiver loaded). Nothing major workwise but the ability to do that on a phone is incredible...
