To follow up, the second phone call hung up after 3 hours and 54 minutes

-- only a two minute saving, but the Freerunner's battry icon still

showed lots of power available, instead of being completely drained like

my test with power saving turned off.
Since the call ended about the same amount of time as my test last night

(236 minutes vs 234 minutes), I'm curious if either AT&T or TMobile

simply kill a phone call just shy of 4 hours of talk time to free up

their network.
To solve that riddle, I'll try both my AT&T SIM card and TMobile SIM

card in the Freerunner and call it from my Vonage VoIP line, see if I

can narrow down what killed the call.
My speculation at this point is that the 3 hour 52 minute call last

night that drained my battery might not have drained the Freerunner's

battery completely, but that the phone just ran out of power at some

point after the phone call because power saving was turned off.
Stay tuned,

Ian Douglas
