Well, don't forget that batteries frequently improve significantly after several full charge cycles, so first estimates always tend to be low.
This is why I try to avoid precise battery measurements, especially on Pocket PC Phones.
Besides, even if you suspend a WM5 device, they frequently have longer standby life, because of both the lowering of the low-battery threshold
and due to the fact that most WM5 devices have less RAM than their 2003 counterparts.
One other nit: the WM5 softkey design is, first and foremost, to support hardware buttons that are placed just under the LCD, as opposed to tapping the LCD itself. I suspect F/S decided not to include that with the N560 as that would be a significant redesign. However, if you do like one-handing and would prefer not to touch the screen, I do believe the application buttons can be remapped accordingly.
Overall, great review, Doug. Enjoy your new baby! 8)
