    Does anyone know how much quicker the 800 is than the 600 and which is the most efficient. Do you think if the phone was used for normal office uses and not games, that there would be any advantage to having the 800?

Can anyone advise which sensor is used and if you know roughly how much it drains the battery Thanks
