Re: Touch Pro Battery life!!! Post your reviews!!

Fully charged at 6PM, don't use it the rest of the day or the night and it's dead at 5% at 7AM. Nothing but ActiveSync. It doesn't make it 12 hours without a charger. Just absurd.

I thought this was a mobile phone... yet this thing lives connected to the charger half the time. So much that the other day I thought I would top it off (it can go from 50% to 5% in no time at all) and left, forgetting it at home.

Not only that but constant recharge cycles are hard on Li-Ion cells, these cells are not infinite and after a certain number of cycles, they won't take a full charge and eventually fail. A much bigger cell that would have fewer charge cycles due to its large capacity would last much longer.

The Mugen 3,000 mAh cell is still not enough and worse, it's a patch, an after thought instead of an integral design of the device. Makes it look like a brick. I don't mind if it's big as long as it's flatter than that. One other benefit of making it bigger with a 6,000 mAh cell is that you could have a bigger keyboard instead of this tiny thing.
