Title: C3000 Battery Life?
Post by: Neverwinter on December 19, 2004, 03:24:15 pm

WHAT IS BATTERY LIFE OF THE C3000?  IS IT BETTER THAN THE C860?  I AM THINKING OF BUYING EITHER...  (shez... I wonder why they didn't pick the 624 or 520 MHz CPU)

& do you guys feel that the 4 GB MD is reliable? not to lose data?  1 have heard negative things about micro drives...

& is the size difference between the C860 & the C3000 make the c3000 significantly less poeketable?   How is the c3k in this matter?

The C3000 is very close in size to the C860, adding only a few mm here and there.

The battery life isn't quite as good on the C3000 compared to my C860. Then even brighter display and microdrive eat more power.

PDAgal : what if you try to do an "exact" comparison ? (same brightness lvl on both of them and plug a microdrive in your 860 ?)
