It will be even more interesting to watch how it plays out once people get
their transplants and they are used to their classic bn. I have them both
until I sell my classic bn and let me tell you; I wouldn't give up my
MPower to go back to the classic if I didn't have to. What you guys are
getting in this MPower unit far outweighs a few battery quirks.

Hi, Paul, and etc.: same problems here. The battery is definitely the
MPower's weak spot. I have sent my battery log to Humanware 3 times now,
called twice and been put on hold for many many minutes, still no
suggestions have come my way.
