Correct, Battery problem is with almost all the SMARTPHONES due to few listed factors:

1. Large touchscreen displays which consumes lots of energy
2. ios and android like OS consumes lot of energy since they are constantly running one or the other application in background:D

Did anyone have a look at the Motorola Xoom, its the first tablet to come with Android 3.0 Honeycomb verions.

Here is the video of the Xoom:

Guys what do you think about the above battery for SGS? its an aftermarket and not an OEM. Its the same size as the normal battery.

Hey Guys,
Any idea when Motorola are going to release Froyo [2.2] for the milestone?
They said End of September 2010 that got pushed to End of December 2010, then that got pushed again to Early Q1 2011.... still waiting...

Seems like Samsung is going to launch the successor of the Galaxy S pretty soon. The rumoured specs seem to be too good to be true. Samsung will probably unveil the phone in February during the MWC ( they unveiled Bada and the original Wave last year at the same event ) .

thanks

My friend is having the same and it seems its a nice phone. Many places it says that it does not support Flash. Can somebody tell me what exactly it does not support ? Flash is a basic component now in every website.
I am thinking of buying the same one.

Hello all, this is a very huge thread and hence was unable to go through it completely to get my doubts cleared. Have got my heart stuck on the Sony Ericcson Xperia 10 Mini Pro. do we have any existing owners here, a reveiew from a team bhpian will help loads.

Even though I have no experience on the Sony Ericssion Xpria Pro, as far as I know it will never get an update to Android 2.1 , so in my opinion it's a no-buy.

I do not have one but all i can say is that you cannot upgrade it to 2.2 Froyo. Last update from 1.6 to 2.1 is final :deadhorse
