505 Battery Life Question

Mr. Goodbar · 10-18-2007, 08:11 PM

Just curious what everyone's perceptions is around the battery life of the 505. This is unscientific, but it doesn't seem to be lasting as long as my 500. I'm guessing the extra memory might have something to do with it, but was curious if anyone else feels the same way. Overall, I'm still pleased with the battery life but it does seem less than the 500.

Batterylife on my 505 seems a bit longer then my 500

Since I got my 505 I must admit I've been "playing" a lot with it, and demoing it other people etc, rather than just reading books. I've read two books on it so far, and I've charged it once from the AC adapter after it dropped to two bars. I don't really thing I got anywhere near the battery life I was expecting, but maybe about 60%. I'll see how I go in the next few weeks as I've shifted to just reading with it now.

Mine feels about the same as my 500.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm going to watch it in more detail and see how it compares.
