Rich choice of devices

Battery Life?

Usage of device dramatically affects battery life

WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS can have a big impact

Voice usage has most effect (1hr of calls = 25% battery life typically)

But my Blackberry lasts a week....

Typically this is the older devices not the latest

We’ve always been feature rich – RIM are just adding those features now

If Battery life is critical use a 2G or 2.5G device today
