I was wondering about that... You see, after all the weird keypress issues I had with Build 685, I 'downgraded' to Build 538. And I noticed my battery life increased when I did so.

Well, having Build 705 installed, I've seen no evidence of the keypress issues I had before, but I *thought* my battery life had gone down. Glad to see that I'm not just imagining things.

Granted, 60 hours is still a lot longer than 4 hours - which is what I was getting with my Dell Axim x51v - but I'm no longer getting anywhere near as many page-flips under 705 than I did under 538.
