However, I did notice more of the very annoying "connecting to data network" pop-up warnings while browsing. I REALLY hate those (again, very annoying when using external GPS and driving in the sticks...I don't need to lose my GPS screen just because the phone can't find a VZW tower)

I've been noticing the same. i think the "60" is more like 6 seconds. I think i may increase it a bit. I'm also beginning to think (hope?) the internal meter is rather pessimistic - spbshell claimed %80 when the phone was saying less. Regardless this is a trade off of convenience for battery life. |
