I don't have an iPhone, but I do have a issued Blackberry (an old 7210). I charge it (and my personal cellphone) every night, whether I've even used either that day or not. It's a habit - before I go to bed, I charge them. I've never had a cellphone (or PDA) battery go dead because I've forgotten to charge it. Had one go dead once when I used it for too long one day, but that's different. So unless the battery life is so bad, that it'll run down during the course of a normal day,the battery life issue isn't that big a deal to me, since I charge mine every night, anyway. If you charge every night (I realize some situations can't, but those are rarer, I think ...), then the battery life should be manageable. To me, it's right up there with remembering where my keys and wallet are. :-) > > -Jonathan > On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 10:09 AM, Steve Ens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jonathan, I have to say my HTC doesn't have great battery life like > the Blackberries in our org, I have to charge each day.
