is that the Li-ion powered one by Edimax? that's the one I got.

nope. It's the Myfi from Globe.

wow! how long does it last on a single charge? mine only goes about a couple hrs and is still better off with the power brick.

doesn't your Samsung Android phone support wifi tethering?

hecman: I haven't been able to test it extensively yet, but it supposedly lasts up to 5 hours. I can plug it into the laptop to charge.

gremlinux: yup but I wanted something that wouldn't use up the battery power of the Galaxy S too much.

drronrosero: Ah ok. How is your battery life BTW?

the Galaxy S lasts around 10 hours before giving up. Before I modded it to be more efficient, it would only last 3 hours.

OMG not even 24 hours Super AMOLED really sucks the juice!

considering the apps I put in that also run in the background, I still really like the phone.

Get something like this, so you can literally turn your phone into a small brick

I'll probably get the smaller battery. I like the fact that I can place it in a shirt pocket without it's weight being too much.
