Oh, and to see if the "calendar" bug I'm experiencing get's fixed...
I've read that the OSes up to Windows Mobile 5.0 have a "72 hour rule", which means that the device will shutdown (showing the battery level to be near 0% or so) when the device actually has power to sustain itself in hibernation mode for 72 hours. On average, that equates to 1/2 hour battery power! So your device's battery still is half charged when your device indicates that it is at 0%. So, you should get almost double the battery life (if the article I read was correct).
