Battery life on current phones isn't that bad.
I have an SPV C500 that charges up via my computer usb.
Average battery life with gentle use is about 5-7 days.
However, as it's a windows smartphone, I can also watch scrubs xvids played off my mini-sd card at 176x220.
I've had about 5-6 hours of continuous movie watching time on it at a stretch.
I think that's perfectly reasonable given it's size and weight (about 100g).
I've been playing DOTT on my mobile phone on train journies for the last few weeks, with voices and everything (MS Smartphone).
Need I say more? Long may it continue:)
Once you tweak it and install some useful apps - such as a Task Manager. No exit commands on most programs = sluggish performance.
I've had mine for about 6-7 months now and its superbly nippy having used the tweaks at Modaco - forum for Smartphones.
Can't remember the last time it crashed and it plays movies, gameboy games fine.
Even NetHack.:)
Plus as I'm wee, I can use the buttons no problems. No audio problems for me in London/Oxford either..
