Pssst. Don't tell Dell it has an orange light or they might put it on top with the WiFi wart so it can look like a tow truck as well as a police car.

in any case, its the battery's performance in real-world usage that matters....
Yes, and my battery usage with WiFi and PIM functions were not that bad as long as I did not keep looking at the battery meter. I used the thing as much as I wanted and still ended up with enough charge at the end of the day.

IMHO, not great battery life, but usable.

I really suspect a patch later to make that battery meter a little less sensitive and to fudge the calibration more towards 100%.

If the 3rd party battery manufacturers or PPC Techs would come up with a little boost to the standard battery, that would be nice too.
