Maning, It surely had longer battery life than my Xperia X8 when constantly using GPS tracking. Not sure how long a full charge will last but, per the experience mentioned, after a whole day's trip (6am-9pm) with tracking on, there was still more than 20% charge left.
I can check out the battery life on our next trip. :>) On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 5:06 PM, maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Ed, > > Is this the Galaxy Y? > http://www.keywordspeak.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-y-review-price.html > Yeah its cheaper.
