Actually, my issue is I use the crap out of it and it runs down. Even when it was brand new I would run the battery down. It's my primary business and personal phone and I use it ALOT. > The phone can charge completely in less then 2 hours so when that completes, > unplug it and let it drain down again so the phone can rebuild a good > charge. I have also heard that advice before, but (assuming you believe Apple), that is not the case with their Lithium-Ion batteries. From: http://www.apple.com/batteries/ "You can also recharge a lithium-ion polymer battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance. (Over time, crystals build up in nickel-based batteries and prevent you from charging them completely, necessitating an inconvenient full discharge.)" Either way, I frequently find myself out of the office, or in some way away form a charger for 18+ hours straight. Talking on the phone for 3 or 4 hours, plus using it for E-Mail, apps, etc - It's gonna run down no matter how daintily I treat my charging schedule. This has been a problem on every phone I've owned for years, I've just never taken the time to find a solution I like. I'd looked at some of the iPhone cases that have built in batteries, but they tend to make the phone really bulky. I guess you only have to put the case on while you are charging it, but still... I also have thought about something like the Richard Solo devices I somehow open to in every "SkyMall" I ever open on a plane. Really I'm just curious if anyone has tried any of these devices out and which they like or don't like... -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323040 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
