But then if you turn off or dont use any of the features then youve wasted money compared to buying a flip phone. So its that balance of features vs battery life, you cant have both to the extremes

Thats just how PPCs are. Ive been experiencing pretty much average battery life compared to my previous PPC's- 6600,6700,mogul, touch, 700wx, 800w, etc etc. there are subtle battery difference like the mogul and 700wx definantly lasted longer but they were larger devices with bigger battery capacity to start with. i mean i took mine off the charger at about 8am, basically in standby up to now with 2 email accounts checking every 2 hours and still have 86% battery left and its 4 pm- so 8 hours later.

Yeah and my Mogul wasn't much of an upgrade from my dad's bag phone...

Let's face it, unless you're camping for days or you work 24 hour shifts why is it relevant if the battery last 2 or 3 days? All you have to do is get through ond day and charge at night. At the same time, I disagree that value of the device is near zero if it doesn't last a day. I can make it last a day by turning off unneeded features but that 's rarely necessary because I rarely go a whole day away from some power source (computer USB or car charger).

Having said that, I do note that my laptop USB power source is not sufficient to charge the phone when it's in use. The phone will continue to discharge while on USB (even though it says charging). So I have an extra AC adapter at work. But when that becomes necessary you are starting to face serious limitations.

All that said, I love the phone.

i don't think you quite got my point. here's to clarify:

it's all about marginal utility. the first day is extremely valuable, but after that, its just adding to the total, rather than accomplishing any feat of its own (namely, lasting a full day without charge).
