Battery Life concerns with Direct Push email


Recommended Posts

The possibility of T-Mobile bringing unlimited GPRS is great. I can't wait to get my Direct Push email sorted. BTW - will we have to pay for an extra service from T-Mobile (UK) to enable Direct Push or would having the GPRS be sufficient?

Another thing that has hit me was whether we'll have to enable GPRS on all day....Is this necessary or will it use a sms based system?

For people who leave their GPRS on all day for Messenger+email for example, how long is your average battery life?

I don't think many complained about the battery life on the Blackberries - but I suppose they weren't that power consuming right?

Push Email will require just GPRS, there is no SMS system.

GPRS usage will lower the battery life, but i would imagine not painfully so. Presumably it depends on how much email you receive!

To enable BlackBerry functionality (Instant Email) costs an extra £10 a month. If you have unlimited GPRS, I'm guessing you would have to use a "pull" service rather than a push service to use your allowance.

My GPRS is on 24/7. I synchronize with my work's Exchange server every five minutes. I can get one whole day out of the battery.
