You don't work very hard. Did you tell your boss you're gonna **** the dog all day in that 10 minute call?
Anyway, listening to music doesn't affect the battery life as much as you think. Calls, screen on and sending and receiving data is the killer, so unless your head is buried in your phone doing other stuff while your tunes are playing, I'm not impressed.
BB users work harder and have more email to deal with.
I'll take your points but I have this in response:
1) There are light days and heavy days. This is on the lighter side, and I was able to do it all on the go, emails, charts, opening architecture drawings, sms, whats app, etc. Effectively I had 2 hours worth of talk time, with a portion of it on speaker phone. With my old bb I would have been tied to my desk when needing to produce charts and excel based estimates. So that allowed me to float around queen west.
2) Any files I needed to reference off the vpn was available on the phone rather than once again heading back to the desk. My back and forth from the office time was spent window shopping.
3) Without being tied to the desk and churning out the work, the boss doesn't care where I am. Nor do clients (aside from meetings).
4) Today was a light email day for me, only responding to 30 and receiving and constantly checking closer to 70. That doesn't include txt or Whatsap social stuff
5) I also used the GPS for 30 mins today. Just farting around really tracking myself and testing the racechrono software
6) While compiling a play list and going through my music I had the screen lit up constantly, to forward, rewind to listen carefully for swear words, and file them into play lists. So I was extremely heavy on the screen.
7) I was also heavy on the screen when taking my notes at 3 meetings back to back, which inloved a combo of written notes via the spen and typed notes along with (within note app) picture taking. Flash for half of them in a dark plant room. That was 2 hours of full on screen action, stylus and a bunch of pics.
8) on the way home while flipping between playlists as described above, I was also producing a gantt chart which again was another hour of stylus and screen action.
9) Finally at home a switch to wifi and another hour on the play list stuff and typing on this forum.
10) The jog? yes another 40 mins full screen action as I was continuing to make play lists. Phone died 5 mins before I finished my run.
So yes, I was literally buried in the phone for 13 hours today. I know from experience my curve wouldn't make it to 5pm with that action and is why I pestered IT for 2 chargers for work and home. In addition I couldn't have produced the work that I did, and would have resorted to heading back to the office to work on excel, word and ms project and open CAD dwgs to even respond to a few emails, as well as get some files of the network drive.
One other side note....
1 major killer app was near useless on BB...Rlink GPS alarm and tracker! Works a treat on Android even though it is via a browser portal. Not ideal but LTE rips and it actually has more functionality than the iPhone app this way!. Doesn't glitch like BB did and lag. The BB version was a pathetic mobile browser proxy while the PB was a disaster at actually using the webportal map to locate my bike! Complete waste even on the QNX browser portal.
Other apps like groupme were never properly optimized for BB and would drain my battery by 1pm due to constant pushing. The developers did however put their efforts into Android and Apple so any fellow riders / buds using groupme on those platforms never had issues. I eventually had to drop my riding group contacts for that retarded reason! No issues on Android! Hmmmmmm
So when I hear stories of weak battery life on the Z10 or Heins suggesting you carry a second battery, or blaming the "large screen" I call BS!
KK
I'm curious to hear your typical day as a "BB person", and I'm also curious so hear how the Z10 fares under your workload, which again, pray tell us about.
I know for certain I put my phone through more than any one I know. So I am genuinely intrigued to hear what kind of paces you put your phone through.
