Re: Almost smashed my phone for the first time today

My complaint is that when this phone is plugged into the wall, it essentially does nothing to slow down the process of the battery being drained. Unlike any other phone I've ever used, leaving this phone plugged in while talking does NOT draw from the wall and simply recharge the phone more slowly. It pretty much just ignores the wall current altogether.

But I really have no other options. I can't afford to buy a different phone and don't qualify for a new discount until November, and there are no other phones that will provide me the functionality I need. So I'm stuck with a phone with a very, very serious design flaw.
Well the battery being almost triple the capacity would render issues like this impossible wouldn't it? With a 3000 mah battery you could use a BT headset on extended convos without worrying. Just trying to offer you a solution for your problem. It seems like the best approach to me besides a new phone which as you said is not an option.
