My problem is that the PPC 6700 is virtually useless during a sunny day as I cannot read the screen. I made a hood out of cardboard to block the sun for mine but that doesn't really do the job.

So my solution is to use my Treo 650 which has a much brighter screen.
I agree with you that the screen is not bright enough. I imagine the battery life would be even worse if they made it brighter.

Anyway, have you tried using an anti-glare screen protector? It works pretty well in the car most of the time if I have the brightness turned up all the way.
