Andrew, after thinking about Kalle's explanation of PSM, and as the owner of a UTStarcom Windows Mobile handset (Verizon Wireless XV6700) that supports both EVDO and 802.11b, I have to conclude that, The UTS XV6700 does not do a satisfactory job with respect to PSM. My conclusion here is based on the fact that the XV6700 quickly runs out of battery when the WIFI is turned on. Although I have an app on the XV6700 that will dump packet traces, I don't know of a way to enable, as Kalle suggests, monitor mode, or if it is even supported by the chipset used in the Xv6700 in order to investigate the root cause of this problem. Needless to say, whenever I bring my handset somewhere where I plan on using the WIFI, or,, for that matter the EVDO interface (which also seems to use a lot of "juice") so I can access the Internet from the Xv6700 or from the N800), I bring an AC adapter along.
