FWIW, I recently took my SIM out of my G1, and am amazed how long the battery is lasting, without the radio being in the loop.
I won't be able to report more, as the new phone isn't worth keeping, so I am going back to the G1, and the SIM will be reinstalled. Bottom line, eliminate the radio, and even the G1 battery will last a long time. On Nov 5, 1:19 pm, Disconnect <[email protected]> wrote: > FWIW my n800 can go just about that long.
