  1. You guys have been talking a lot about battery life. I have a Nokia e73 (just upgraded from an e51) and some days I actually work remote (i.e. 6 hours/day) from the phone (email, web, eBooks, media, docs/spreadsheets, etc.) and at the end of the day still have 50% battery life left.

    So I guess Nokia knows how to manage their power settings or puts a big enough battery in their devices.

    I’d appreciate any insight from you guys. Love the podcast. I’m a big fan.

  2. Mark, the Nokia E73 indeed gets stellar battery life. I can use the device for a good two days on one charge. What helps IMO is the 1500 mAh battery, which is a fairly high capacity unit for such a thin device. Also the smaller QVGA display means less power for backlighting and graphics is used. It’s a totally different class of device when compared a full-screen touch device and the biggest benefit is better battery life.
