[Greenbuilding] BlackBerry Q10 (was Nyle heat pump water heater update)

[Paul Eldridge]

I bang-out a lot of e-mails through the course of the day, and the Q10's 
physical keyboard makes it easy to compose longer messages -- that's not 
something I'd want to do if I had to peck away on glass (iPhone?  mein 
danka !).

I'm trying to move as much of my communication and computing tasks to my 
mobile device, which uses one-twentieth as much energy as my laptop and 
less than half that again of the ThinkPad and its external monitor with 
the screen brightness turned all the way down to "0", i.e., one watt 
versus twenty-one and forty-seven watts respectively.  I don't have any 
problems, for example, watching the CBC News on my Q10, even with its 
comparatively small screen; alternatively, for the few times when a 
larger display is desired, I can switch to my PlayBook tablet which 
draws approximately three watts.

Cheers,
Paul
