[citation][nom]JackNaylorPE[/nom]25 minutes battery life on your Treo ? Are you using it as a business tool or an entertainment device ? My Treo, a 650 bought in the 1st week of Cingular / ATT availability(what is it 3+ years old ?) still goes a whole week between charges and that includes keeping my youngest son occupied when he's in the car with me and my daily fix of Sudoku. It shuts itself off at 11 pm and wakes me up at 6:30 am, otherwise it's on all day. Of course I don't take cell calls when I am in my office (about 4 hours a day) and won't do e-mail when a big screen and full size keyboard is available. I just can't imagine a usage pattern that kills batteries as fast as you are .... again assuming the use is as a business tool.A second comment would be that judging a anyone's performance based upon experiences on "product launch day" is not representative of what anyone would experience whop didn't fell a need to be the first one on their block with "the new thing". Business's have long said an "OS is still a beta until SP3". The numbers say this thing sold at a rate about 3 times higher than anything electronic product in history. As with Firefox's download day, these conditions are bound to cause some hiccups as systems are stretched in a manner that they have never been tested at before. You don't want problems, wait a week for the new gadget.[/citation]
Thanks for your comments Jack. I'm glad you've had such good luck with your Treo 650. It is quite obvious, however, that my Treo 650 has suffered numerous hardware failures after warranty expiration. Sadly, I know I'm not the only one to have these problems. It was a pain to live with the device for so long, though its problems had nothing to do with my usage pattern.
