While I personally consider the Treo 680′s battery life more than adequate, many users were very dissatisfied with the machine(ever had a Nokia N71??? Not??? Be happy!!) – in order to make the device slimmer, something HAD to give.
Anyways, Seidio has now begun to take preorders for its long-promised internal battery with a capacity of 1600mAH(the Treo 755p’s capacity). The PalmInfoCenter claims a price of approx 50$ plus shipping – exactly the price of the 2400mAH battery with the protruding battery door.
For me, updating internal batteries has always been a very uninteresting thing, as I usually carry at least three devices when on the run. An external power source like the Proporta Mobile Device Charger is cheaper and more convenient for me…
Will you get this battery?

If anyone thinks the Treo is bad, they should try getting the Siemens S55. For a phone with a very basic low res screen, simple Bluetooth and data, it really ate through batteries! It wasn’t even a smartphone, had a tiny low-res non-touchscreen and yet the maximum you ever got was 2 days use!
If anyone can beat that (worse), bring it on!
Hi Alison,
fine to see you posting!
I have had a Siemens SX1 and currently have a Nokia N71…and don’t really like either of the two battery-wise:).
The 680…to be perfectly honest…it’s on par with my old T3, and I managed to live with that. For me, the 680′s battery is enough most of the time…
Best regards
