Battery life on my Palm Pre has never been that great, maybe because smartphones, in general, encourage you to really use them. 3g, surfing, calls, sms… everything is so easy and fast and usable.
In the last 4 days that I’ve been in china, I realised something - the Palm Pre has amazing standby life!
Ok, some disclaimers here. I think over here, my connection is limited to 2G/EDGE connection. That, from what i’ve read, helps. My usage has been really low, a few sms’s a day, checking calendar and contact information, and a few phone calls, and even wireless surfing a bit.
But it has been on *all* the time, no recharges, no airplane mode, always on.
But still, I’ve been absolutely amazed. It has lasted me absolutely 4 days. Full 4 days!
This is something I should investigate more….
