Question on battery life/radio

[Guest Kerogi]

Hi all,

I have been thinking about getting a desire after having an iphone and loving it. Anyways 2 things are playing on my mind and it kind of makes the difference between getting one and waiting for the evo 4g or iphone 4g.

My question is to anyone that may know the answer is.. Whats the battery drain on using the radio like and what is the radio like? am i able to drive around listening to radio 1 without it constantly loosing the station? At the moment on my iphone im using the internet radio, needless to say with a battery pack it still only lasts 4-5hrs, 2-3 on the standard battery. But i iknow the desire has radio built in so just wanted to find out if it saves on battery life much.

Many Thanks

Mike

i would like to know how the FM radio is performing also, and how long you can use it before the batteri dies

Hi All

I just took it for a walk and to be honest the FM radio performance was poor. Walking along it kept breaking up, at one stage the static was fading in and out with every step. There were times when it was fine too. I reckon it's goon enough to listen too when sitting down at a desk or that but at least in my test it's not good enough when walking around.

I can't really comment on battery life but in the 30 or so min I had it on for, the battery status didn't drop. As far as I know FM radios are very battery friendly, hopefully the Desire's is too.

i'm also slightly pissed about the fm tuner reception quality... My old SE W850i does a much better job... :huh:
