Re: Battery: What I'd like to see

Considering I've already had an Instinct, I can give you a plain example, as this happened to me last night at work:

Full-time, I drive taxi and limo for a living. Part-time, I'm a Bail Enforcement Officer/Fugitive Recovery Agent.

Considering I've spent over 13 hours ON MY FEET, outside of a vehicle and away from a power source while searching all over a city to locate a fugitive, havnig a phone battery going dead at the wrong moment can be a VERY BAD THING!

But on to last night: My regular cab (a minivan) was supposed to be fixed today, however the wrong part was sent, which sent me using a spare car. The car I was using unfortunately did not have a working cigarette lighter outlet, which left me unable to charge my phone which was already down to 50% by that point.

So yeah, a spare battery would definitely come in handy, especially in a Windows Mobile Device (which aren't really known for running battery-life endurance marathons).
