For me one day battery life is the gold standard because I can charge at night. Let's face it, unless you're camping for days or you work 24 hour shifts why is it relevant if the battery last 2 or 3 days? All you have to do is get through ond day and charge at night. At the same time, I disagree that value of the device is near zero if it doesn't last a day. I can make it last a day by turning off unneeded features but that 's rarely necessary because I rarely go a whole day away from some power source (computer USB or car charger).

Having said that, I do note that my laptop USB power source is not sufficient to charge the phone when it's in use. The phone will continue to discharge while on USB (even though it says charging). So I have an extra AC adapter at work. But when that becomes necessary you are starting to face serious limitations.

All that said, I love the phone.
