HTC G1
Battery life improvements?
I haven't played with one yet, but one thing I'm curious about is the ability to turn off some of the battery gulping features like 3g and gps and have a longer lasting phone. I know where I am most of the time and I can turn on 3g if I need it. Someone was whining in the forum that the edge network on t-mobile sucks. I'm not a t-mobile user atm, is that true or did I accidentally read another one of DiamondPro's threads?
Yes you can turn off things like 3G, GPS, wifi and screen brightness. There is an app called Anycut on the android market that will let you make direct link short cuts to access those, very handy. As far as the EDGE its not bad. If your on sites with text like forums or blogs then its pretty fast, but slows down if there are a lot of pictures. Stores in not 3G markets should have demos instore to try out the phone on EDGE.
