I'm looking to replace my CLIE T665 which I think has a similar battery life as the native T3. I use my PDA a lot (no music, or videos, mainly datebook 4 and lifebalance) but sometimes almost run the T665's battery out in a day. Soo given that I need some processor power for lifebalance, but not a lot, any idea roughtly how many hours I could get out of a charge with an underclocked T3?

Thanks for your time.

Not sure, I have had mp3's running for 8 hours clocked at 118 before... I put it to charge without looking at the % tho.

So at least 8 hours...

Depending on what you have it clocked at, how intensive the apps are that you are using and your brightness setting (probably the biggest factor), you can get anywhere from 4 to 6 hours if you aren't using the mp3 player. mp3s can play for 8 + hours usually because they shut the screen off totally.

"you can get anywhere from 4 to 6 hours if you aren't using the mp3 player".

4-6 hours underclocked? I thought 4-6 hours was the usual T3 battery life for the T3?
