I don't know if anyone's had their K3 for a month yet, but I'm wondering how long the battery charge really lasts. It doesn't seem to be lasting as long as advertised with 3G and WiFi turned on... how about when they're turned off?

I tried both and found with wireless on it was going down about 25% a day - so would last about four days. I turned it off for a couple of days and it barely changed at all, so there is a significant difference if you keep wireless off. I won't be trying it for the whole month though - I find it too inconvenient to have wireless off, so I guess I'll just have to keep recharging. Hopefully as the battery gets 'conditioned' it will last longer per charge.

The first 'regular' folks got their K3's on the 26th. . . .I've had mine 10 days.  Charged it when it came and have recharged it twice since. . . .BUT I've had wireless on a lot as I've been loading lots from my archive and moving around in collections and getting things indexed.  It will be a few days more before I settle down into a 'regular' routine -- mostly read, wireless usually off -- and can judge how long the battery will really last.
