  |  680 Ready??? Reluctant to upgrade to 680 from my 650 mostly due to the batt. issues. However, that is what I heard when the first 680's came out. Is the problem still persistent? Ohhh, im not looking to purchase a bulky xtra batt just so my phone can make it through the day.

   | The bottom line, the 680's battery is not going to perform like the 650 battery because it is so much smaller. The new firmware update seems to have properly addressed the drain that can be caused by using the camera. In my case, I use IMAP and Chatter email so I am always connected. I get about 14 hours a day before the battery dies. I deal with this by keeping a USB Cable by my work computer and a Charger in my vehicle.

| Although I don't talk much, I use my phone as an mp3 player for about 2-4 hours a day and my battery lasts for about 2 days. IMO as long as a phone can make it through a complete day you should have no worries. |

| Looks like I have no choice but to Upgrade. Wifey dropped my 650 and there's a huge crack in the screen and its getting flooded. Since she's in the Medical field I guess Treo is the only way to go (great amount of Med Programs) right? I know this is a Treo forum but is there another phone that can has the same amount of Med software programs available?
