Personally I could care less how it looks, but that's just me. My phone is something for functional use, not for showing off how stylish I am. Those wanting to make fashion statements might want to stick with a different phone anyway
. I will probably pick this thing up eventually, but I need a little spending break after the holidays.
I have car chargers for both our cars and wall chargers for home and work, but anything that can help in the cause is something I'll take. I'd consider an extra regular battery, but having to carry it around as a seperate thing all the time would get a bit old (this is why I have multiple chargers - so I don't have to think about transporting them!).
Battery life is weird. Sometimes I can go for ages without the battery guage being affected, whereas other times it seems to suck down power like crazy. I wish there was some kind of map of how much gets used for various things. From what I can tell, Wifi, GPS, and streaming audio over bluetooth can all deplete the battery faster than normal. I suppose anything that keeps the screen on more will do this as well, and I suppose streaming video over the net will as well. It would be nice to know how all these things compare, as well as talking and general data transfer. The other thing I'm wondering is whether if you have lots of stuff open does the Touch Pro start using caching and memory swaping mechanisms that require more power.
In short, I'd love for someone to write a program that tells you live how much power you are spending. That way you could tell as you use things how much the power consumption goes up or down. Not sure how feasible creating such a program would be, but I think it would be enormously enlightening since different people seem to have very different power usages, and even the same person seems to experience different consumption rates depending on what they are running, etc.
