Mostly gadgets, but I'll occassionally get sidetracked...

HP Mobile Messenger…

Call me fickle…but…the alerts going off so low you can barely here it unless you’re actually carrying the device, and the battery life…(it has a spec’d battery of 1940mAh in it)…is really grating on my nerves.  How in the world can a battery that size burn that quick?  I mean, it’s just understood a WM device will go through a battery…but to be at 50% battery in about 2-3 hours, and prompting for low battery at 5 hours, for a battery at 1940?  Geez…I have 1150mAh batteries lasting longer than that.  And I’m getting tired of picking up my phone finding a bunch of email and tweets that I didn’t hear because it’s sitting at the other end of the table.

Buyers beware…you won’t hear alerts on this phone…and keep the charger handy.  I hear a ROM upgrade may be on the way to address.

I think I’ll switch back to the Palm Pro for now.
