Cell Phone Batteries......
SUCK!!!!!...anybody else agree??? 
I swear w/ ALL the technology we have today...Nobody can make a Cell Phone battery last for at least a Week before charging???????.....come on!
My battery last for like a day and a half!....then have to Charge it up!...
I dont even use my phone A LOT either!...
I already had to buy another Battery becuz the original one got OVER-Charged and then couldnt hold a charge for a couple hours etc....

I've got the SCP-2400 flip-phone by Sanyo (with Sprint), and it holds a charge for a good 5 days. That's 5 days of talking, texting, and playing World Poker Tour at least 5 times a day. Best phone I ever had. Kinda glad I forgot my Nokia on top of the car now.

I have a Sony Ericsson now that easily goes 5 to 6 days with average use. I have to ask though....as long as the battery lasts a full day, what's the big deal? I mean you can always charge it at night when you get home. And with $5 generic home and car chargers all over ebay, you really shouldn't get caught without a way to use it. Unless you're going somewhere with no electricity for a few days.

I have the Verizon LG 9400, it's the best phone I've ever bought. My battery on a full charge will last a day and a half, that's using the web browser, talking and alot of texting. After that piece of crap razor V3C I had I'll take this without a doubt.

Mine lasts 3-4 days, but only 1 day when bluetooth is enabled...and thats what killed me.

Mine is certainly the bluetooth, so its probably something the software is doing different on mine to cause a huge draw.
It suxors though, I bought a samsung because my last samsung had 5 days of battery life even after 3 years, but this one is terrible.

Hey, I see you are in Geneva, IL. My family and I were just there a few weeks ago visiting some friends who moved there 2 years ago. It was our second trip to Geneva. I like that area.

I didn't know that phone sucked more power having to fight for a signal. Hm?
I have a Moto Q (web browsing, big LCD screen) that I browse the internet on regularly with and I can go 1.5 to 2 days. Now I just, today, got an extended battery on eBay for it (it actually came with a new battery cover because it's bigger) and am interested to know how long it'll stay charged.
One thing I've learned is that buying accessories for a cellular phone is definitely cheaper on eBay than a store.
