Battery life isn't great - it's less than I got on my Vario/Wizard - but
as it's HSDPA that's expected.
Got mine (Vario III on T-Mobile) for £80 on a 18 month upgrade. Monthly
spend (after 50% discount) was £16.25 per month and kept same tariff +
discount. Approx 300 mins per month + unlimited (1G

anytime data per
month and HSDPA downloads. It's so fast, I don't bother with WiFi any
more, saving the battery a bit. Internal GPS works perfectly with my
old copy of TomTom Navigator 5 (just remember COM4 + 57600bps, and DON'T
touch the GPS applet in control panel else GPS may not work without a
full hard reset.
Only negative is very poor screen in bright sunlight - even on max
brightness it seems worse than my old Vario/Wizard.
But I'm pleased with it, especially with it only costing me £370 for 18
months inc line rental etc.
