Are there 'real' benchmarks for this (to exclude different ways and times of use), to have objective results? |

15-30 minutes per day reading, sometimes notes, time, addressbook.
Watch face off. IRDA receive off. 1 min off timeout.
The second week is over. 7 days from one charge.

Oh forgot one more (also significant difference):
Alarmsound: on/off?, if on how many alarms a day

Alarmsound off. And other sounds too. They are too silent and ridiculous. I don't use any fossil's sound.

| My battery supplier says he gets the new accus in about 2 weeks. And he has by then some samples of the other types (which perhaps expand the total capacity to 630 mAh).
About the design of the backplanes: simple black? or as in the pictures? sort of clear with the carbonfibre visible?
I will produce some backplanes in advance, to be quicker when I get the accus.
so long mclien | |

| I'm partial to black. Though either way would be cool. | |

| Tested Razoffs configuration a while (Watch Face off, beam receive off, all sounds off): after 48 hours 4.13V 100% ! (P4P Akku Test v1.4)
To improve the sound (at least a bit), do the following:
downloading Geeksounds.prc from FreewarePalm.com and, in DateBook, using 'M100 Warbler' as the default sound. | |

| So you want that one?
(I'm currently producing the plates in advance to have them quickly completed, when the batteries are deliverable.) | |

| Your case-mod looks rather good. I don't know if I can buy one right now, but what would be your willingness to ship to the USA, mclien ?

| mclien, you have done a great job! I have been watching this forum for some time, since I own 5 Abacuses and 2 Fossils. I joined today to let you know that I would definitely like to order a few of your plates / battery kits. I will be one of the first to order once it is possible.
The Abacus is now my only PDA, replacing my very old (11 years!) Sharp Zaurus. I have transferred all my 2,500 addresses into the Abacus. | |

| much thanks for all the commendations.
sadly we have to be patient for some more time: My battery supplier just informed me, that his asian deliverer 'expanded' the shipping of the batteries for another 2 weeks minimum.
I hopefully will have some new examples for a bit extra capacity. I'll come up with news ASAP by then. Meanwhile you can all submit me you colour wishes. (I produce plates in advance)
EDIT:
and yes, I'll ship worldwide, of course

So you can solve one very important question:
Have the abacus and the fossil the identical backplane and hardware inside?
Means can you put the fossil backplate to the abacus and vice versa?
If so, it means my 'battery extension kit will work for both... | |
