One o the side effects can be more battery use… but… well… lets see what the forthcoming firmware (they have said it was for January!!!!) will bring.

It would be interesting if someone could do a small test about battery life in the 820 version. Because if it's significative, I don't really see any advantages in:

1- Page turn. It's already faster than turning a real pbook page. Faster is better, but if it drains more battery life, I think not.
2- That's true, but... We know that the problem with PDFs isn't the speed. I quit trying to use PDFs with it. The ones it displays well, the text is so small and it forces me to make 3 or more page turnos for each page of the document... But for those who endure those hardships, I guess more speed is welcome and even worth some extra battery drain.
3- This is still fiction :P
4- The same as in 1.
