Seriously, stop quoting any manufacturers numbers in regards to battery life and open your eyes. And real, independent review of the TG01 complains about the TERRIBLE battery life. E.g.
"We are of the opinion that the 1,000mAh battery of the Toshiba TG01 is unable to maintain the phone working for a decent amount of time in between consecutive charges."
Craig is totally right to question the battery life.
In standby, the display is off, the apps processor is asleep and the radio only wakes up every now and then. When talking, the display is off, the apps processor is 99% asleep and the radio is in low power 2G mode.
These are just not representative of real use any more! When you actually use the device for anything in the real world like 3G internet browsing, the screen is on, the apps processor is awake and the radio's using juice like there's no tomorrow.
What we need is some new, more useful battery benchmarks like web browsing at 80% screen brightness with a few background apps running...
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

With battery life measured in minutes, I presume?

Should be as good as the MSM-7200 series due to the 32 nm production.

It would have taken less time to do some research than it would have for you to troll that message:
Use the Toshiba TG01 as reference:
http://www.gsmarena.com/toshiba_tg01-2662.php
Battery Standard battery, Li-Ion 1000 mAh
Stand-by Up to 276 h
Talk time Up to 5 h
Oh, and the battery on the TG01 is of a LESSER CAPACITY than that of the Leo's.
TG01 battery = 1000 mAh
Leo = 1250 mAH

Yes L
I like how that quote referenced a specific figure in regards to the battery life.
Oh, no, wait, it didn't.
For the record, most smartphones require a daily charge anyways. So that's a moot point.
Well, the thing is, you can actually swap the battery. No joke, you can CHANGE it. Just remove the backcover and it will be fine.

Smartphones battery life is shite and manufacturers don't give a crap. Get over it.
