Yes I charge my phone every night, but I have no problem with it making through the day with calls, texting and light web browsing.Easy to synch to PC with included USB cable, but best to buy a USB charging data cable to keep it charging while you synch.Bluetooth functionality is incredible.The display is the best I have seen in a portable device. It is brighter than my DS Lite with vibrant colors.Sure, I wish the battery lasted longer (but then we wouldn't have this gorgeous display). I also wish the phone had a memory slot.For the price/performance, a tough phone to beat. Looks sharper than a razr and much more manly than a fusic.I am going to be buying a high quality (not OEM) battery for swappage. If that adds an hour to life, this phone will be perfect!
