My previous handheld device was a Zire 72 Palm Pilot and it does exactly the same as the Freerunner (allows itself to die only to be saved by a 16+ hour USB trickle charge) with the notable exception that you can't access the battery without opening the case. And my current 3G/UMTS phone has DRM on the powercharger. You can only use an "authorised" charger else it shuts down after a minute of charging when the authentication fails. Feel proud that an Open phone can be powered by it's own brand, a competing brand (Nokia) or just some wires and common batteries ;-)
