More Yeah Right.....
On the trip to Taumarunui the Ideos X5 shat its battery in 6 hours, after only 2 incoming calls.
I can only conclude its one of those phones that drives itself stupid trying to stay connected in marginal reception areas, such as what I drove through between Wanganui and Taumarunui, via the Parapara.
So, its back to the old Nokia 5800, which I'd taken with me, just in case...
Fortunately, with the old girl, the bluetooth has decided to work again, so I'm back on hands-free on the road too.
