8520 Music Playback time
Hi Friends, just wondering what would be the music playback time on 8520. RIM claims 38 hours on 9700... of course it has a 1500 mAH so it�s a power house.
But 8520 has a decent 1150 mAH battery, it�s a GSM phone so it must be very good for daily normal / heavy use but has anybody checked up the music playback time on 8520 ??
9700 is way too expensive so I�m planning to buy 8520 as my first BB.:):) I�m a guy who is always on the move so listening music while traveling is a must for me.
Besides, want to know about the 8520 call quality & music quality also.
Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well personally, I carry my phone to use for music and while driving back and forth from work and such. Or while cleaning the house. It does pretty dogon well. Now, does it have the battery life of an iPod? No. But its not meant to be used solely as a music player. I have never tested how long it can last while just using the media player, but I do know that I can listen to several albums before I see a notch taken out of my battery level.
Music quality out of the speakers is ok. I wouldn't say its outstanding but it is tolerable. I use my nice headphones for pretty much all of my music listening. But for the time while working at my desk and streaming Pandora, the speakers work well.
Call quality for me, is outstanding. Its part of the reason I stick with Blackberrys. I just love it. :)
