My ipod - factory says battery lasts 18hours. i've done everything with the battery to the letter from the factory, even had a replacement battery, at most i get 2-3 hours of use.
My pda - manufacturer says that the battery(moto q) lasts 3 days or 4-5 hours of talk time. once again i have done everything to the factory specs out of the box. the standby is kinda ok, talk time maybe an hour and a half. don't even mention the internet and the data plan thats an extra 40 bucks a month. with internet use, i am lucky to get a solid 1 hour and a half at most with talk time, standby and light internet use in a 8 hour period.
until someone makes a nuclear phone or better batteries, all products like these will suck. there is no way that little thing is gonna have a battery to support the bells and whistles and energy drain its going to take to run a phone, ipod, internet surfing, pda, and whatever else its gonna do.
try watching movies, playing mp3s, using the phone, and surfing the internet on that tiny device, and watch that battery go bye bye bye like Nsync.
i love the idea behind it and i was almost ready to shell out the 599 whenever its available for the 8 gig one, then i really thought about it. i've never had a pda or a phone or an mp3 player that ever once lived up to its battery specs. at the very most i've gotten 50% of what the factory says it will do.
maybe they should give this one to china and let kim il nuke make it for the world.
