o.. firmware will affect the battery life?
to me the battery life is still acceptable, + we can have car charger
but
the slowness is quite unbearable.
how someone has an answer here.
What firmware you are using? I believe you are the only one facing this problem since I don't hear any other members complaining about this issue

. Upgrade to the latest version and see the result.

The latest firmware version is V210.21.007 ... 27Feb2009
How is it & have you tried it out? Hopefully this will prolong the HP battery...

The new firmware did improve the camera function and now you will see lesser purple tint in the pictures. Also both the picture gallery and accelerometer run faster which is very good to me

. Overall it was a minor upgrade which I don't really recommend.
Why? Cause I feel my phone was not as smooth as the previous firmware on the graphic animation part. The scroll bar animation will flick when you scroll fast. Not really a major issue but it just seem not 'PERFECT' to me any more

.
As for the battery part, well I believe it was the battery hardware problem which we cannot solve with the improvement of the firmware. Or could it be the phone hardware which is sucking up most of battery power unintentionally? Only Nokia engineer can tell us the answer. We will know more about it when E75 is out in the market as it is using the same battery model as our phone.
Btw, check out E55. I saw a girl using this phone in LRT (prototype unit I guess as the phone is not out yet). Damn tiny and it looks damn cool compare to picture

. I gone get this phone when it is out in the market (EUR 265 only, even less then 5800 XM retail price).
