I suppose it isn't that big of a deal from a technical standpoint, but I'm trying to carry less things with me. So packing around two batteries is worse. Also, I'd have to charge those batteries somehow. Unless there's a dock I'm not aware of that means charging those while they're in the phone. Not quite sure how you do that.

Also, look at the list of devices I've owned. For only one of those devices did I ever carry an extra battery. That was the HP Jornada 720.
