yea i must say, my battery died fast as well. powered it on about 945 this morning was getting the battery low indicator around 1145. but remember it only came charged half way. leo, did you leave yours plugged in overnight before use? and what client are you using to download the podcasts? my iPod might be staying at home for a while.
Leo, did You have Your N95 coninously connected. That could drain Your batterie. Better to take down the connection and that there is no email client in the background and polling every minute...
Yikes! Was eyeing one of these, but if the battery life is really that bad (you're not the first person to mention horrible battery life) I can't see how it would be practical for day-to-day use.
I need a good Smartphone. Any ideas? Must sync with MS Office and be fast. My current PDA has a 624 MHz cpu and 256 MB of ROM but only 64 MB of RAM. I need something with more RAM and more battery life.
The only thing I am apprehensive about with the N95 is the battery life. That being said I am quite keen to get one next week if one becomes available.

Was it the downloading or the listening?

Too bad you don't have a cell battery that you can just feed sugar to and it perks up. A few drops of Dr. P and you're good for another few hours.
