Not sure if anyone else has experienced this yet, but I have now had my Cellular PC for almost a week and have used it pretty heavily.

It has drained low, been recharged quite a few times, and only once I accidentally let it die.

Well today it seems the battery is super efficient. I took it off the charger this morning around 8:30 AM, and just now plugged it in again for a PC Suite sync-up (the battery bar was full). It immediately came up "Battery charged" and a green light.

So for 3 1/2 hours off the charger, it didnt use enough energy for it to even consider itself in need of a charge.

Not sure why this phenomenon has happened, but I like it.

Yes, the battery time on idle is just fine. Unless you trigger a Wi-Fi bug or otherwise clutter it full of power using things.

Based on my experiments, the full charge will last about a week of idle usage.

Was using an external charger the only way you brought your device back to life when it was fully dead? Or did it just come back enough to charge?

I had it on the charger when I started it back after it died.
