i mean think about it,, your laptop wont stay running for 16 hours on its battery,,, and this phone is similar to a toshiba portege with a pentium iii 500mhz and wifi,,, but it has a phone built in whereas the laptop doesnt,, lol

please forgive the example,, but it is true,, this phone is a pda first and everything else second.. so I knew ahead of time,,,

but I was also pleasently surprised that I only had to charge the phone once midday,, and once at night,, even with heavy use,, as opposed to my touch i used to have,, I had to charge that thing like 4 times a day...

but I just bought the seido 2000mah battery and back,,, and charged it up today,, so now were gonna see if that doesnt get rid of that midday charge,,,

Terrible example. This gimpy POS is nothing compared to a 500Mhz laptop. The technology is totally different, and much larger.

There really is no excuse for the terrible battery life, and I hope they fix it by the time WM7 gets cooking, or people will look elsewhere for devices.
