I've almost decided to get a Mini Pro, largely based on what I've read in this forum, but first a couple of quick questions:

The battery life appears to be good for a smartphone but how long does it take to re-charge? Is it an all-nighter or a quick twenty minutes?

Is there a limit to the number of contacts it will store? I appreciate that there will be a pratical limit imposed by the amount of memory but I'm coming from a Palm phone and I must have several hundred contacts stored on it.

Thanks for any advice.

Depends how you're charging it. Mine takes about 4-6 hours if plugged into a USB port on a PC or doing with a 0.5 amp charger in the car. Using the 1A plug it can be done in 2-3 hours while the phone is running. I've never charged it while it's been turned off.

I don't think there is any limit to the number of contacts. Even if there were, limiting it to less than a couple of hundred would be a pretty stupid design decision.
