The first day or two I had it I ran it down almost all the way with light use. Today I was on my phone all day long, hadn't charged it since mid-evening yesterday and I still had 30% right now when I charged it again. I talked for a good... 2+hrs on it, went on the net, had it checking for emails every 15 mins, etc. So I am much happier with the charge now.Taylor Conanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-49633985575323033432009-12-08T21:36:49.658-05:002009-12-08T21:36:49.658-05:00Yes, it is related to power settings and lets you ...Yes, it is related to power settings and lets you turn on and off backlighting and things, like the charged alarm. <br /><br />From Home, hit menu, then add, then widgets.

Is it related to managing battery life?<br /><br />Thanks.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-6790445575597374292009-12-08T21:02:04.109-05:002009-12-08T21:02:04.109-05:00C,

Mashable ran a poll the other day with Droid against iPhone and it was not even close, Droid lapped the iPhone three times.<br /><br />I can't wait until the Android OS becomes even more mainstream. The possibilities of the open source will bring business developers in in droves.<br /><br />Of course, Android will probably never get the game apps like iPhone has. Because we all spend so much time on the DAMN phone playing games.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.com
