sorry this may be a dumb question but... why would a pda phone like the w950 have less battery life than a normal phone, like the k750 or w900 for example?

A few reasons, firstly it'll have a more powerful processor, since it is a smartphone it'll run complex apps and needs the extra horsepower.
Second, it has a QVGA screen, which is bigger than that of standard 176x220 screens SE tend to use. Also, because it is touch sensitive, it requires a little extra voltage charge for that purpose.
Lastly, the phone has 3G, which is great but it also uses more power than a standard 2G phone.

thanks etaab
since the m600 has a much greater standby time than the w950, does that mean it had a better battery, or is not as complex?

my dad used to have a v500 motorola, and well the battery time sucked, he didn't even use it much and it would need to be recharged like three times a day...! according to newmobile.nl, the w950 has 250 hour standby time, and the v500 has a 210, now bearing in mind what i just said, does that mean the w950 will be nearly that ridiculous?

We've got a VS3 and a VS6 and it's hard to tell the difference between 262,144 colours and the 16.8 million colours on the Panasonic!
I'm sure 24bit screens will come en masse, but they will only make a difference when phones have a minimum of VGA resolution (which is coming, if you look at the new Vodafone/Sharp phone).

@ Xugaa - im sure the battery will need charging daily like most phones these days, if not every 2 days.
As for your dads Motorola, it sounds like he had a defective battery unless it was in use constantly.

i think the difference between the two talk/standby times is that the shorter times are for UMTS mode, while the longer ones are for standard GSM. if you take a look at the M600 spec sheet on the SE site, the times are similar if not the same as the ones you listed for the two modes.
screen resolution is the same as the W900, but screen size is 2.5 inches. i believe the W900 has a 2.2 inch screen.
