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.

On the Apple note, yeah-- every one of my coworkers with an iPhone 3G has disabled 3G on it, because the lack of 3G in our area was killing their batteries within a few hours. But they're all fanatics about Apple, so they just blame the problem on AT&T coverage and worship the phone itself. Meanwhile, I demonstrated last night that everything that can be done on the iPhone can literally be done quicker on the Touch Pro, and oh yeah-- I have a keyboard and copy/paste.

On the reception issue, yeah again-- when I go to visit my mom I always have to switch it to roam-only or it will suck my battery dry.
