I think *not* moving for all tests (and different types of cellphones to compare) is near a "best case" scenario for standby time - anyway place some sensitive radio or the like near the phone, to hear the typical interference noise when it is sending, just to make sure you don't sit on a "bad spot" where the phone changes cell every few minutes. For "best case" talktime scenarios the distance to basestation is much more important. Here you should check for *very* good RF-signal, means very near to BS and thus allowing the phone-transmitter to power down to lowest level. Also note that GSM without simcard is constantly reselecting cells, so energy consumption is really bad. Switch off GSM when not registering to a network. /jOERG
