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

I posted this in the CDMA Upgrades : radio post, but figured I'd post it here, too, since I don't know if anyone here would read that.

Anyway, I had switched to the Telus 1.04 radio a week or so ago (along with other changes I've made since originally configuring my TP...but I'm basically on the factory setup right now, other than the radio change) and I am watching the Senior Bowl on the NFL network streaming on Sprint. I started with ~20%, and my battery has fully charged, while I've been streaming the entire time. It took ~ 2 hours, but it never stopped charging from overheating, and it didn't seem to get particularly hot (though did get warm, but that's to be expected from any electronic device). I didn't even need to keep the keyboard open (though for the first half I did have the battery cover off).

Previously, when using Sprint Nav (which still might cause problems, since it uses a seemingly constant data connection PLUS GPS) I would never be able to charge without it overheating and stopping charging. When I get the chance I'll try to test out Sprint Nav + charging.
