When you bought your last car, did you check the MPG? and have you gotten what they advertised or have you gotten something different? did it make alot of differnce in your choice? Or was it hype you paid alot of attention to when you bought the car, but don't any more?
There are so many variables in seting standby times, it is almost impossible to compare, unless they are all done by the same laboratory and done under the same signal strength, location, user, battery type, battery voltage, etc. I can take my QCP-820 and make it standby for a long time, probably 30% more than advertised. But should I publish this? If your phone gets 220 hours of standby plus 8 hours of talk time and you plan to see your battery charger once a day anyway, what difference does it make? If 15 minutes on the charger has it all the way back to full why would you be concerened? the only reason would be that you could get the battery down to 5-10 grams and still have 30 hours of standby plus 4 hours of talk time. Make the whole phone a credit card size with no battery at all. (check out the QCP-860...no battery when using the cut down specs...)
I just think that people are looking at this wrong. If you make a 120 gram phone these days, you can get the standby to 1000 hours, but nobody does this. |
