Just a quick technical question to keep all you bods thinking...
What has the most 'drainage' on battery power on the T68?
Bluetooth or Infra-Red?
...And how short would each cut my battery time by?

It depends a lot on how much you use it.
Bluetooth can be set in different ways.
On "automatic" it doesnt drain the battery at all.
On "ON" it drains battery,..but then you usually dont have the bluetooth set to "ON" all the time.
So its pretty hard to say.
Example: when I drive, I set the bluetooth headset to ON,..this drains battery. The "battery-meter" shows,..but when I put it back to "automatic", the battery-meter changes back to "normal".
So I cant really say how much it drains.
IR,..you usually dont use IR for a very long period,..and it doesnt drain battery much.
Still, the bluetooth is far better, as you dont need to position the phone and the pc/pda/printer,..you can move around.
