As for accusing me of turning this into a fanboy war, you should maybe read the second post in this thread. So maybe get your facts right.
The real issue here, is that whilst the electronic side of things have moved along at a fast rate, battery technology that been stagnant in comparison. If battery technology had moved along at a similar rate, or even slightly slower, then we wouldnt be having the current problem. Thus having to charge your phone on a daily bases has become the norm. Its something you accept when you buy a smartphone. One reason why I think this is the case, is that electronics were used in a desktop computer that was plugged into the mains. This power, efficient were not an issue. When mobile devices came along, especially smartphones, the battery became an issue. I think someone needs to look into battery technology, and produce a battery that can keep a smartphone charged for at least a week. Although in reality it will probably be smaller jumps. At the moment I would take a battery that would keep my phone charged for two days with average use.
I think motorola have the right idea, introduce a phone (razr) with a standard battery. Then introduce a bigger battery pack and back cover for the same phone. This will make the phone heavier and thicker, but at least the consumer has the option. Its a simple solution, using the current technology.”

I don't have a clear bias and i clarified my point into why I didn't really see the point in upgrading to a quad core phone ATM.
New battery technologies are being developed that lasts a week and takes 15 mins to charge by using an anode thats composed out of graphene/silicon. It will probably still be a few years off mind you but it is on the way.
I think as long as a phone can last all day under heavy use then thats plenty.
I do think that the ARM A15 looks interesting due to it apparently using the half the power for twice the speed, I would have to see this to believe it though
