I had several BB's, which at the time I thought were the end all be all until I finally saw the light. My Android phone does about 100 times what my blackberry could do. Unfortunately, yea, I can't get 3 days on a battery charge or come home from a 10h shift and have barely lost 1 bar of battery power. I've adjusted though and am doing my best not to be neurotic about the battery life. I now have chargers everywhere and when on vacation carry a spare battery.
