How are you finding the battery life? If you turn everything off (Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth etc) and just keep the phone radio on what kind of talk/standby time do you get?

Also, how long will it run on WiFi before it dies?

Just a quick observation, You are going to have to buy all new accessories with the new micro usb sync connector.

my espeerience w/ the battery life. w/ gps locator on, no bluetooth. regular phone & heavy text usage and a little bit of interner download, about 5mb. the phone came off the charger @ 7am and died about 2:45pm. i’m sure it would have died w/ bluetooth enabled a lot sooner. today I have gps locator off and bluetooth on, w/ same variables like heavy text messaging and internet downloads, it is 12:30pm and I still have 73% battery life. so I think the phone battery is descent if you have gps off. I had the same problem w/ the samsung instinct. I guess gps uses a lot of power to run.

Groundbreaking? Hardly.

Good, yes. Overdue, yes.

I would say that the 800 is just about in the middle of the pack of Smartphones.

Groundbreaking would have been:
TV Out
1300+mAh battery
512/256 megs RAM/ROM
500mhz+ processor
3+ megapixel camera + flash light & autofocus
FM radio

Actually, sorry, those are the specs for the HTC Touch Pro, so I guess ground breaking would have to be quite a bit more…

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Treo, the features on this Treo are the things others have offered for a long time…

Sorry Palm, you’re still way behind the competition. Still coasting on the success of the 600…
