@Shaggy: first of all, my overal impression of the DR800SG is that is a great device, at least after v2 firmware release. I used v1 just for few hours so I can't say that much about it.

About why I was unhappy about battery: 6% seemed ok in the first day, 8% a bit much. I suppose Li-Ion batteries don't discharge linearly, so I'll be monitoring the device few more days, just because I'm curious. Anyway, the battery life is enough for me, but at the beginning it was confusing with reset and no power off (I'm the kind of guy which first uses the device and then reads the manual).

Edit: in about 23 hours of sleep it went from 84% to 78%, so probably the 6% per day is the normal rate.
