If this ROM had been available 7 months ago I could have saved some bucks. Since I flashed to Merdin's 6.5 I have yet to swap the battery during the day at work & I don't stick it in the cradle every time I get anywhere near my desk anymore...........(& battery life is not even the reason I tried the ROM)

Wow, that's a lot of chargers to have lying around! Which may make it habit forming to place in the charger in the 1st place. ROMs to help with the battery issue, as they clean up
some of the garbage. It would also help to let the battery refresh. For example, the battery shows half life, you set on the charger, the battery shows 75%, you set it on the charger. Every once in a while let your battery drain completely and charge to full without interruption. I have never had great issues with the battery. I use my phone to some extent as much as most of you. Email, surfing, texting, phone calls here and there, picture msging and all the sort. My phone handles it just fine. The "Talk Time" given in the specs, however are b.s. I've never made past it about 2 hours of talk. Remember this is a PPC/PDA > phone.

Re: Rom with great battery?

The latest juicy rom significantly increased battery life. I can make it through a normal day no problem. Involves, 5-10 calls, about 100 texts, music through bluetooth, and web surfing. I must note, the Tachi dialer released (which is tempting becuase the people tab buttons work for TF3D2) but it kills the battery.
Note: this dialer is not included with the rom though, must be installed as a cab.

Thanks for the info about Merdin's ROM. I flashed it over a week ago and have great battery life now. With heavy usage (checking email every 5 minutes, around 10 to 15 minutes web browsing per hour) I can get over 8 hours. Never got close to that with the stock ROM. You have been "thanked".
