battery life

Battery life seems to be a major concern for me. The x5 seems to have better battery life. But still it seems to only get 5-6 hours. Do ou find that this is enough? The x3 seems to be worse...maybe 3-4 hours or so. What do you all think of this?

Some of this depends on what you are using during that time. If you are running more then one program at the same time it will drain the battery faster. My Wife has a X5 400 with PPC2003 and the battery life does not last as long as it did on the PPC 2002 version. I get around 7 hours of use when running the pocket word, games or listening to MP3's with the screen turned off. My Wifes lasts for around 5-6 hours with similar tasks. We both have our backlight set to around the lower 2/3 of the brighness setting for most use.
