If that is true, then really, what use are these games? (esp. if you have to pay for them!)

Ummmm... it may use up your battery "quicker" than if your phone is just sitting there doing nothing, but it's not THAT bad.

I played games on my phone a LOT yesterday (and e-mailed, web browsed, etc) and after 17 hours I had 20% battery left. :clap:

Ok, I was told this by a friend, so I really do not know from first hand knowledge.
