I've never been happy with the battery life of my Loox - typically 4 hours usage.

But now I have a keyboard it is pathetic - I sat down in a meeting yesterday - typing notes as it went along and the battery was down to 14% after 1hr 57 mins.

It's no use what-so-ever...........

:cry:

I experience the same thing also but not while using the keyboard. The standard usage hours I get from my Loox is approximately 4 hours also, I wanted to try something to gain more operational hours so I changed the brightness settings to 3 out of 8, and the CPU to power saving mode. I must say that improved it a lot almost 6 to 7 hours now, but I am not satisfied without utilizing my pocket pc to maximum, otherwise I would bought an XDA Pocket PC with built in mobile phone, let us be honest we were all expecting much more better than that as per FSC's advertisements and announcements “promises :x ”. Anyway I’m planning to go for a new PDA, so far the ipaq h5450 is top on my list. :wink:
