I'm back at base now with full coverage and the battery is happy again. So the "power saving mode" isn't saving enough power to keep the phone going for long at Papamoa.

I suppose it's heaving out a big signal each time to check in with the base station near Papamoa and that flattens the battery. Normally, in good coverage, it just does a little whisper and the base station says "nothing to report", and the phone goes back to resting.

I got the following via PM and it makes sense to me. Thanks to the anonymous person. I edited it a bit so that it's my style rather than the poster's.

If the Broadcom patent is strong enough to warrant a blockage of product, QUALCOMM with a nine month warning of the sucker punch coming, would have designed around the patent by now and already have it in the chipsets that are out there.

I will bet you they are playing it this way.

1 Let Broadcom win and get the ITC to play the bad guy, locking out products which infringe.

2 Announce that the following products do not have the problem and that they do not fall under the umbrella of the stay order.

3 Get a ruling that the new products can ship anyway until proven by Broadcom to have any infringing stuff in them.

4 Take the ITC ruling and go right back in and stick the ruling right up Nokia's Marketing ... and block all GSM products in the USA.
