All the features in the world are irrelevant if they are only partially implemented. Think of all the things you can do with a TP that don't really work that well, but work enough to impress your friends. Is that all everyone cares about?
I never missed the point. The Apple iPhone is far from perfect, only Apple fanboys will say so. Have we all forgotten about the 3G problems that plagued the initial release of the 3G iPhone? All the Apple fanboys have. Of course it was more to do with AT&T's crappy network.

I laugh my *** off whenever people talk about how perfect new Apple products are. The latest Macbook Pro's, need I mention the Trackpad problems? Of course Apple will eventually fix those problems, but for certain things like Cut and Paste, Apple won't fix despite many many many people asking for it, because they stubbornly refuse to do so.

Anyways back to the Battery issue. Poor EVDO reception was to blame for my poor battery life. As soon as I changed to 1X only, my battery lasts a full day with normal use. Almost two days with light use. That is awesome given how small the battery is. (same capacity as the old Touch).

That said, the Charging problem needs to be fixed. That is definitely a defect and/or poor programming.
