Hi-Mobile.net was very kind to send us over a Symbian/UIQ 3G smartphone for the purposes of this article, the Motorola M1000 (currently $290). This specific model originally was only sold in Japan as a "world phone" since last July, meaning that it can work both in Japan and in the rest of the GSM world. We tested the operating system, its usability and the phone itself with the Cingular network in the Bay Area. Many screenshots and pictures included.

>Could you comment some more on battery life, especially >when using the phone as MP3 player
I didn't test it as an mp3 player for the very clear reason I mentioned in my article: I can't find any headphones for it here in USA. I have to find someone in Japan to send me DoCoMo headphones before I can do that.
> Is that constantly using it or just having it active?
A mix of both.
> but a 4h WLAN standby time would be totally out of question for that...
It would probably be a few more hours in pure standby. No device can go very long with WiFi ON. WiFi --by nature-- requires lots of power.

Could you comment some more on battery life, especially when using the phone as MP3 player (I assume OggPlay can play music from the card, right?)?
Also I wonder about the battery life with WLAN. Is that constantly using it or just having it active? As I'm rather interested using it as SIP phone over WLAN at home but a 4h WLAN standby time would be totally out of question for that...
