Now that Nokia N91 going to come with a 4GB hard drive, how do you people like a hard disk on next PXXX phone? Any idea how this would affect battery life, etc?

Hopefully it will but there is no point in speculating as we just don't know!
The effect on battery life would depend how much you use it. Obviously a hard drive would use more battery as it has moving parts.
A good comparison may be the P910 with the iPod! I've played mp3s constantly on my P9 for 11 hours until the battery went AND that was with BT and GPRS on. The iPod on the other hand only has a battery life of about 4hours so that says a lot.

I saw the Nokia release but I'm not so sure about the hard disk drive part. 4GB is now - just about - available on a solidstate CF drive and they should be more commonplace when the Nokia is actually made available for purchase. This capacity is really the hinge-point for the choice between solid state/HDD
A HDD is more complex, less reliable and more expensive than it's solidstate equivalent. Remember IPods have much bigger capacities - 20/40GBs - requiring a HDD

There's always the microdrive from Hitachi - CF-form factor. But... does anyone here - in their right minds, see SE dropping their Memory-Stick in favour of Compact Flash?! Come on!
You all know the answer.
Oh... and there's the teensy-weensy problem of battery life. You think now it's short, then wait until you have to power a 4G microdrive and then complain.

Totally agree with it. unless this time nokia can really solve thier battery problem.
with WiFi in the 9500 the battery counldn't last long.. and now they want a 4GB HDD inside. i really doubt about this N91.

k750i can play mp3 or aac+ 15 hours. W800i can play for 30 hours. and both model battery is smaller than K700i battery.
even with 2 hours calls, 3 hours mp3 and 6 hours bluetooth each day. K750i can stand for almost 3 days.
i think
had found thier way to reduce the consumption of battery but give the best performance of all the multimedia function.
and i believe this is why
better than nokia. they do thier RESEARCH well.

to get 30 hrs playback time on w800 you will have to switch off phone part this means missing calls to get more playback time and that is crap .
