Guys,
you really need to set the terminology straight here otherwise we spread FUD.
Feature phones only differ between talk time and standby time.
For us, it's a bit more complicated, since we have more modes.
Can we agree on the following:
usage time = CPU is powered on, lots of peripherals have power and you're
actually talking and doing lots of things.
standby time = CPU is powered on, but the display and most peripherals are off
to save power. You are doing something that requires the CPU to be on though.
suspend time = CPU is powered off. only gsm (and RTC and some other wakeup
sources) are listening for events.
Now I _personally_ expect the following from FreeRunner:
usage time = 2 to 8 hours, depending on what you're actually doing
standby time = 10 hours
suspend time = 2-3 days
