as the subject says, which smartphone or pda with phonefunctions do you think have the best batteries and can stand the longest time of active usage??
Posted by masseur
of all the ones I have had, the JasJar performed the worst for battery life but I am still amazed at how my k-jam just keeps going on and on!

about how long would it lasts in active use, for example when listening to music while browsing the net?
Posted by masseur
I browse the net 2 hours a day (on my way to and from the office).
I watch maybe 20-30 minutes of video
I make endless calls
The phone checks my email automatically every 15 minutes
by the end of the day the battery is down to between 75% and 80% at most (i.e. its used 20% to 25%)
on the JasJar (admittedly running 3g instead of gprs) it would get down to 3%-40% battery remaining for the same activity

so you mean you can get 4 days of use with it?? thats amazing for that large device
Posted by masseur
well, I've never pushed it that far because I stick it on a cradle to synchronise with my PC each night and morning and that also charges it
edit: oh.. .and its not a large device!

my O2 Atom lasts 1.5 - 2 days with only browsing. i don't make calls or play videos. though it's got 1500mah Li-on battery.

i hope you dont mean with continous use

remember though that the Atom has the Intel xscale processor running at 416mhz whereas the Jam uses the new technology processor (OMAP850) from Texas Instruments which runs normally at 200mhz (195mhz on the k-jam) and so doesn't drain the battery as much

well if it goes down 20% in one day it should last for around four days, right?? oh and i checked k-jam specs at gsmarena, it is actually smaller than SE p-series!! i thought it was bigger... i was wrong... but it is still not a "small" device

I was just trying to say that I couldn't confirm the assertion that 1 days battery consumption can be interpolated into 4 days total usage as I have never done it, but its a reasonable assumption
as for size, here are some K750 comparison pics from my "A couple of my mates. Meet JasJar and K-Jam (many pics)" thread

the k-jam sounds really good, maybe i will get one (but the qtek). if i only could get the mpx220 sold, do you happen to know a onlineshop that sells desktop chargers for the battery alone and not the phone??
