I had the same experience with two different models of Treo and an HTC Windows Mobile handset. If I used the data services throughout the day it would kill the battery by the end of the day. My iPhone is about the same. If I do constant video viewing on it, I can get about 7 hours out of the battery.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
You just want to drool over my technology. I know how you are.
Drat, you know me too well.
iPhone commercial is on right now. They are everywhere. It's a sign!

The status is NOT quo.
I've never owned a phone that did internet etc that didn't need to be charged every night.

Mine's a 700p, and it freezes up constantly, usually while texting. If I try to run Google Maps, the entire phone shuts down instantly (which never used to happen, but has been the case for the past couple of months).
I'm at the point now where I have to restart it at least once a day. My sister has the same problems with her 680 (which is on a different network, just so we're not blaming Verizon). Palm is just an old rickety OS with stability issues.

Gadget girl,
I love my Nokia N95. So what do you want to do with your phone? The N95 is unlocked and works with t-mobile and att currently.

Incidentally, how well does Windows Mobile play with Macs? (I already have Missing Sync, if that makes a difference.)

My windows mobile phone sucked monkey balls. I had missing sync and all of that and the phone and the OS was just horrible.

The status is NOT quo.
I had the same experience with my Windows Mobile. I hated so much that I was happy when I accidently dropped it into a puddle.
Side note on those considering a Blackberry: they do not play nice with iCal etc., but the Blackberry Missing Sync has improved to the point that it's no longer a PITA to use.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is this how you’ll get your newspaper In the future? Maybe, says Toshiba, the Japanese electronics firm that developed this facsimile receiver. It prints both sides of a sheet simultaneously, in six minutes. If mass-produced, the device would sell for an estimated $300.
The thing looks like a microwave.
