My friends wanted to buy a pocket PC phone and I recommended
O2 Xda and HP IPaq based on the brands and review. So he decided
to buy the HP IPaq. However he later found that battery life is miserable
--> the battery life is actually one day only.

Then I asked another friend about O2 Xda. He told me the battery life
is about 1 to 3 days depending on the usage.

This is really low. I have an old HP Jonarda 525 Pocket PC which still
has better battery life than this after 4 years of running. My 5-year
old Nokia 8250 does better than this as well with the original battery...

I know Pocket PC phone is better in terms of functionality than
those smart phones from Nokia and similar but the battery life
is really low... I should have suggest him to buy a Palm or low
end Pocket PC (but they are out of fashion now) and upgrade
his phone...

Xiaofan
