Oh, no doubt, man, I feel you on the horrible design of this. It really pisses me off, too. Actually, a couple months ago, I decided to stop by my "local" (it's an hour away from me) Sprint store, to try to get an extra battery for my Pro. On the way their, I was on the phone, and the battery was almost dead, so I plugged it in to charge. Well, of course, it got really hot, and refused to charge. So, when I got the store, I told them what was happening. They INSISTED that it was just that I had a bad phone. I told them "No," this is a pretty widespread problem...it's all over the internet, on different forums dedicated to these sorts of phones. Well, they wouldn't give me an extra battery, instead, they decided to replace my phone, free of charge to me. So, when the new one came in, I drove down, and switched it out. I tried to keep the old battery, cause I knew the problem would still exist, but the girl wouldn't let me. So, here I am, still with only one battery, and constantly charging my phone while at work so that it isn't dead for me on my way home. It's ridiculous how bad the battery life is.
