I thought this was a mobile phone... yet this thing lives connected to the charger half the time. So much that the other day I thought I would top it off (it can go from 50% to 5% in no time at all) and left, forgetting it at home.
Not only that but constant recharge cycles are hard on Li-Ion cells, these cells are not infinite and after a certain number of cycles, they won't take a full charge and eventually fail. A much bigger cell that would have fewer charge cycles due to its large capacity would last much longer.
The Mugen 3,000 mAh cell is still not enough and worse, it's a patch, an after thought instead of an integral design of the device. Makes it look like a brick. I don't mind if it's big as long as it's flatter than that. One other benefit of making it bigger with a 6,000 mAh cell is that you could have a bigger keyboard instead of this tiny thing.

well its also a smart phone which means the 1500 mah battery is running a powerful processor more memory programs in the background it has alot going on. Ive had my phone on average last 12-16 hours a charge with heavy texting medium data and 30-40 minute call usage. I also have 2 extra batteries on always on the charger one always in the wallet just in case. If the 3k battery comes out soon or maybe a smaller battery that fits in the case I may get one but being a smart phone owner u learn always be ready.
