TouchPro user to "accessorize" with a regular phone | GPS Question

[dinodrew]

Hey all,
I love my Sprint TP (currently running Juicy 8, love it) but the battery life just can't hang with my usage. I took a new position with my company that is about 33% travel and do a ton of business via phone. While the TP is great for travel (GPS, fast internets for finding things, email/MS Office on the go) the battery life just can't get it done. I have the dual charger (Phone + battery ) and THREE batteries that I use on the road AND the car charger. After my last trip, I decided to get a "regular-everyday-talkin'-on-it" phone through AT&T (best coverage in the cities I travel to).

Looking to hear from other TP users:
-Do you have a second phone?
-What phone do you have?
-I need battery, quality, fit in pocket and if it syncs contacts/calendar with Exchange you get a high five.

I've been so obsessed with WinMo phones for the past few years (700w, 700wx, Q, Q9c, Q9h, Diamond, TP) that I've ignored "dumbphones".

Second question:
-Best GPS solution for the TP?

Thank you in advance for your help. I freakin' love PPCGeeks and look forward to you insight.
