Is it jsut me or does adding extra memory to cellphones make their battery life skyrocket?

Until today I had still put it off, opting for other toys besides this necessary evil.

Best damn $15 I've spent in a while (1GB miniSD)

moto Q + 1 GB miniSD card

1GB? Lightweight...I got the 2 gig son! Dunno about battery life though, I put the card in about 2 minutes after I turned on the phone for the first time.

i thought my 1gb microSD sucked battery life because it was an extra thing needed to be "powered"

1) It's a Mini-SD card not a Micro-SD
2) Only needs to be powered if accessed, so not really
3) I highly doubt battery life would skyrocket from a added memory card :)

That is like saying adding extra RAM to your PC give you a bigger hard drive.

It's just the morphine talking I guess .....I swear using it with a low amount of available memory always killed the battery for me...meh...just glad I have the space now for attachments and crap:D
