You can even talk on the phone when FR is suspended! (yes, this is
because Calypso, the GSM chip is separated from the main processor)

140: http://totalueberwachung.de/blog/2009/06/03/freerunner-deep-sleep-standby-time

There's also now some research going on on scaling the frequency of FR
CPU - it'll save another 40mW or something.. So I think we can expect
the battery lifetime to slowly go up to longer than one day.
