As you know PDAs have always been "battery challenged".How much consume your's Diamond (You can measure with a litle plugin called Battery status?)

I think it lasts longer for sure than you can use search functions and find several very well documented topics where people posted various scenarios (calling, browsing, watching videos) etc ... and No i won`t do the dirty work for you ... you have the same right to use search as me ... sorry.

So far the battery is lasting around 6 hours with moderate use.

Mind you, I have been playing a lot as the WM thing is all very new and I keep seeing stuff to fiddle with ;-) I guess having the screen on for ages is where my power is going.

If bluetooth is connected to a device (car kit for example) it really eats power. In standby with no devices connected... doesn't seem to impact the battery much. I guess its just waiting to be polled and is not saying 'here I am' to the world. Bluetooth visibility is off now I have it paired to my car and my Mac.

Is not about to test battery life ! Is about the batterydrain in mA! I'm just curious! Oldest M3100 has only 70mA! This one 274 mA! Sorry for my question!
