Hi all.
I admit to my somewhat incorrect wording of the recommendation. I mean
any applications that are running in the background can drain battery
power very quickly. This could include Joikuspot Lite, a program to
allow your phone to act as a wireless hotspot, and so on.
Sorry about that. Yes, it's the application that are *running*, not just
installed.
Take care.

Number 2 doesn't make any since at all! You can have hundreds of
programs installed on your phone and just because they are installed
isn't going to cause the phone to use any more battery power unless you
start them and they run in the background. This has been the case for
all the phone out there.
Myself, I have about 40 to 50 things showing up in the App. Manager.
Things like Skype may add 5 or more items on it's own when you install
it. The KNFBReader Mobile Software could add another 5 or so items to
the App. Manager. YBrowser depending on the version and things you
install could add another 3 or so items. The VCM voices will add I think
about 2 items per voice. So for all the English items that could be
another 14 items.
So what you are saying is this would cause the phone to use more battery
just because they are installed. That isn't true being they aren't doing
anything unless you use them.

Subject: [Talks] Two battery saving recommendations
Hello all.
I wish to recommend two ways of saving your battery power.
1. Instead of charging your phone via mains, charge it via USB, where
possible. It will do your phone's battery a world of good, since USB
draws a lot less power than mains, 500 miliamps and 13 amps
respectively. Also, enable power saving mode on your phone. This sets
your phone to use the battery's optimum life.
2. Look in your phone's application manager. If you see anything
unusual, go ahead and remove it. The absolute minimum you should have
on your phone are Talks, Talks Core and your chosen synthesizer, mine
being Eloquence. I discovered the hard way that the more apps I have
on my phone, the more it can drain the battery, depending on the app
of course.
Hope these help.
Take care.
