Its becoming the norm to have a spare battery to carry for the occasional busy day out and about.

Down to 24% in 21 odd hours yesterday, i left background data on, turned sync off, left wifi on and used 2g only with a payg o2 sim. emails, facebook etc i updated manually. used the bus app a couple of times texted a few people and made one phone call. I never left the house though, will try the same amount of use next week when out with my 3 sim (obviously 3g only) and about and post results. Nexus one - gingerbread.

No, it's not.
Blackberries are probably the exception. However since iphone and android users way outnumber the blackberry crowd, it is the norm to charge overnight. |

The lid is not well fixed so a rubber band holds it in place for me but for the price its a bargain. Does not work on iPhones I'm told. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aa-batt...ger-pack-15048 Plug in your USB lead and off you go. |

It would be a very decent box but for the fact that cable protection is missing at the case.I've glued mine.
A far better design would be to integrate the the USB socket into the box itself. Its was bought for my non removable battery Win CE GPS unit. I suspect it gets 2 phone charges at 8 times the bulk of a phone battery. Those cheap AAA 'emergency phone chargers' with loads of connectors will make way for these things in that USB is becoming the norm. |

I did in my last post. The current poundland ones are as they say 'emergency only' with hardly enough capacity for one charge, For a normal phone its still more convenient to carry a spare battery.
