Go to the nearest Sprint repair center, complain about battery life (respectfully) and they'll probably give you a extra battery. For me, 2 fully charged batteries last a whole day...almost.

I would agree with pastafarian, I asked about a replacement battery for my TP, he gave me one, I handed him back the other and he said keep it. I went back 3 weeks later bought a Moto Rockr BT and asked about buying one more battery and he gave me another, I have 3 for all day protection...

i saw a co-worker of mine using something similar while he was walking outside...could be nice for emergencies

Wow that's actually really awesome. I think I'm gonna get one of those. That would actually be amazing for charging your phone if you were camping or something and didn't have a power outlet nearby.

I guess most places though, if there isn't a power outlet nearby, there won't be Towers to get a signal from. Still really cool nonetheless.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Another related question - What power draw do you guys see regularly? I am checking via no2chem's power and backlight settings page and get the following:

Wake from rest = 113mA (which should be the resting/idle draw since it takes a few seconds for the meter to adjust to any change in draw)
Idle but full backlight = 184mA
Idle with backlight dimmed = 157mA

My battery seems to drain fairly rapidly even when the phone is idle, so I was wondering if this in the ballpark of what others are seeing? All of this is with 3-4 bars of service as well.
