you can’t just bring the cord with you and have it pluggedi nto the computer when you have it… I find it hard to kill the battery these days other than playing games when I’m being a couch potato and my roomate is watching one of her shitty shows. ---

With Push email, about 60 min a day on the phone and listening to music off the iPod on it all day, I have 30-50% battery left at the end of the day. ---

yeah, x2 on that. I usually run out of battery within 2 hours in the morning if I’m not charged, but thats because I stream music online. If I don’t, the battery lasts all day without having to recharge if I’m not playing games or anything ---

U must be very popular! I could probly get my battery to last 2 days if needed. I dont play on mine as much, i check the weather every once and awhile but if i didnt purposely try to show it off or prove someone wrong with google it would last 2 days. When it was stock it seemed faster, its still a hot phone i just wish more people would make backgrounds for winterboard right now I have Patricia Ford which is nice 🙂 ---

just a heads up (if you didn’t already know), winterboard or any other program that uses mobile substrate type apps will deffinitly slow your phone down a lot. If you get rid of it, chances are you’ll notice a decent speed improvement. if you know what you’re doing, I think you can change the wallpaper with having it installed ---

are you on 3G/edge? it’s probably changing IP’s to get around it (if not on wifi), after you have installous installed, install safari download plugin from cydia. go to appulous in safari, find the app you want and go to the rapidshare link. When you’re on the screen that asks if you want the free or paid service, open a new tab and go to [seeqpod.com](http://seeqpod.com). find any MP3 and start downloading it. As soon as that starts, go back to the first tab and start downloading from rapidshare. this allows you to keep the same IP as the other file is downloading in the background. or wait till u get on wifi 😃 ---

Pings personal and work email sites. I was thinking about going with push with a xfer to YMail for personal. Not sure if that’s worth it?? Screen time? When i’m on a laptop, not much. Traveling around town…between calls, SMS, looking up contacts, calendar and google maps and doing email…sure, it’s on much much more. Your subway tip is interesting note. i suppose I could go into airplane mode then, but at this point its moot. With my external battery i never die during a business day. ---
