The big question that I have about all these things the phone is supposed to do is what is going to happen to the battery life? If you are constantly draining the battery with other things, will the battery life be so short that you won't have the phone if you really need it. Hmmm....I just dug up the specs on the Sony Ericsson W800 (Walkman handset), and the battery life for music looks very good but I'd like to get some real world data on this. sonyericsson.com Battery life is a key consideration for owners and the W800’s battery has enough stamina for the longest journeys – it will play for 15 hours’ if the phone is switched on, or up to 30 hours if it isn’t. The circumstances that I'd like to know is if you could get two days of battery life out of the handset if you listened to two hours of music each and talked on the phone for an hour or so each day as well. I could see that type of usage for some train commuters. I'll try and dig through some message boards to see how people like the battery life on the first generation of MP3 enabled handsets (the W800 isnt out yet). Slacker
