The iPAQ brand is the Kleenex of Pocket PCs, having become
so established
that novices often say "iPAQ" when they mean
Pocket PC. Thus, we'd expect
this model to take the market by storm, and boost T-Mobile's
customer base
since they have the initial exclusive offering on this
product in the US.
That's an impressive laundry list of features, but generally
the more you
add on, the shorter the battery life. My XDA II sports many
of the same
features, but in the interest of battery life, I find myself
using them
sparingly when on the road. Pocket PC Phone Edition models
aren't known for
their long battery life, and generally require nightly
charging (more if
you're a phone-happy road warrior). Bluetooth and WiFi are
serious battery
hogs; and though those are exactly the tools a connected
road warrior
craves, using them often means carrying spare batteries, car
chargers and
the like. Among current generation Pocket PCs and PPC Phone
Edition models,
the iPAQ 6315 stands apart with its absolutely amazing
battery life. After
using the unit for a full day, the first word that came to
mind was
"liberating". I used the phone to make several
calls with and without a
Bluetooth headset, left both WiFi and Bluetooth turned on
all day, used the
device frequently for PIM lookups, played four short movies
and surfed the
web using WiFi for an hour and still had 65% charge at day's
end.
