I have a good friend that is an engineer working for a major mfg of smartphones and tablets (android & windows). He is directly involved in the design of these devices.
He says their tegra 2 based prototypes, both phones and tablets have horrible battery life, even models with 3G radios. His company is @ CES this week showing off their new tablets/phones. His caution was, unless they can find some magical way to squeeze out more run time on these things without putting in huge batteries, to stay away from the first generation of dual core 4G devices.
He did let me play with some of the prototypes. Tegra 2 is fast, Honeycomb is sweet, but in the 30 minutes or so that I was playing with it, the battery went from full charge down to 40%.
no wonder they are including the "extended" 1930mah battery as standard. I wonder if that will even make it through a day. I can easily get 2 days worth of use out of my DX with the 1930mah "extended" battery.
In all the news that's floating around it gotblost that the bionic will only have 512 ram while the AT&T counterpart will have 1gb.WTF?
Sorry, calling BS here. Atrix 4G is quoted at 9 hours of talk time per phonearena.com. This is more than the Droid X.
Please if you don't have anything factual to say, please refrain.
Never had that problem. Might be your towers? *228 lately?
so my question is, if you buy a 4g capable phone, do you have to buy a 4g plan?
I live in a small town of 200 people and we just got our first cell phone tower (verizon) 3 months ago.
The TI OMAP 4430 is said to be what is being used in the Blackberry Playbook and its supposed to be blazingly fast. It is also said to be more efficiant than Tegra2 so should see better battery life.

I didnt know the Playbook had a dual core OMAP. Interesting...I wonder why Motorola didnt go with it. Although the Nvidia name does help with marketing the new phones.
I'll take your advice with a grain of salt. Smaller dies in a dual core use less juice than a single core. Not saying its BS but also remember what you said yourself these are prototype devices and may not be streamlined as much as they will be before release.
Because the Atrix has an accessory that lets it turn into a laptop. It basically allows you to use your phone to power a Linux desktop.
