The Ultimate Talk Time ChampionBy Sindre Lia, 16 May 2009
If you're looking for a smartphone or cell phone with impressive battery capacity, check out which brands and models to consider.

Motorola is the number one Talk Time Champion, providing 7 to 10 hours of talk time with the Motorola Q9h Global (7h), Zine ZN5 (10h) and Renew (10h).

RIM comes pretty close with talk times ranging from 7 to 9 hours, courtesy of the Curve 8900 (7h), BlackBerry 8820 (8h) and Curve 8330 (9h).

Sony Ericsson, LG and Samsung share the third place, squeezing out between 7 and 8 hours of talk time with the Sony Ericsson W760 (7h) and W350 (8h), Samsung Epix (7h) and Omnia (8h), and lastly, the LG Incite (8h).

HTC just barely missed a place on the victory podium, clocking in at 7 hours with the HTC Fuze and T-Mobile Shadow 2.
