Doesn’t that drain the smartphone’s battery just as quickly? Or am I missing something? Please edumacate me! Thanks!
The Bolt is also bluetooth connected, but maybe it drains less, but there's no problem with battery life on the phone. I think the big drain on phones is the screen being active all the time. Anyway, I'll stick with what I've got.
