I doubt the hard drive would be running all the time, it would only be activated as required, and I don't think anyone is trying to compare a phone which has a hard drive with a pc
the hard drive here is only 1.5gb and, well I already have a 1gb SD card and 1 gb compact flash which I am sure would draw much less power than a hard drive so why bother anyway? just add SD support and also it will surely be lighter too

yes, cost is probably the only positive thing about using a hard drive I guess

I think the real point is being missed here. THere is now a phone with a hard drive! Yes its only 1.5gigs but its only a matter of time before we see 20 40gig+ hard drives in mobiles! Price v's capacity will far surpass that of any mmc card.
