When there's no data to transfer, Bluetooth with a DUN connection established (ie. GPRS) consumes slightly less than WLAN connected to an AP. But I suspect that you can't see the difference in real life. But when you are transfering data, bluetooth is significantly better. WLAN is quite a power hog. > Also wondering if the N800 can listen to bluetooth requests while in > sleep mode or if that would just kill the battery too quick or even > if thats possible?

Pushing stuff from my > computer to the N800 would be cool. I don't know much about bluetooth. But I would assume that having the bluetooth enabled but without established connections consumes very little. -- Kalle Valo
