BB Battery Life VS WinMo Battery Life
Ok, so tradionally, BlackBerry phones would kick the crap out of Windows Mobile phones in battery life.

Not sure what kind of answer I would get here, cause most of us are Windows Mobile ADDICTS!!

But, now that Blackberry has started to put some horsepower in their phones (Storm has a touch screen, Bold has a 600+ Mhz cpu, etc) has this affected their battery life?

How big is the gap now between Windows Mobile and BlackBerry battery life?

LOL, yeah i dont want anyone to start a flame war, I'm just curious as to the kind of impact the newer BB hardware may have on battery life.

Re: BB Battery Life VS WinMo Battery Life
I think some of it comes down to touch screen vs. non-touch screen.

Re: BB Battery Life VS WinMo Battery Life
Hoping that we can have some storm users chime in, I'm wondering if that big ol touchscreen has an impact on BB vs WM battery life.
