Poor battery life--- "touch" related?
I know it is early in the game, but several people have complained about battery life on both the diamond and pro. I remember back in the early 6700 days that someone created a battery usage meter and forum members did tons of testing on what apps used the most power. If I am remebering correctly, selecting entries via the touch screen used a lot more power than when using the d-pad or hard buttons. Given that these phones are so touch-3d and finger scrolling oriented, could that be the culprit for the poor battery life? I'm wondering if we would experience much better battery life going back to a standard today screen, and using the d-pad more than the touchscreen, rather than the touchflo 3d plugin. Anybody try this or have any thoughts?
