BlackBerry can get away with it because, although their email stuff rocks, the rest of the phone sux.
Lol, hey I'm a current Blackberry owner...hahahaha!
Anyhow, even with a Blackberry's stellar battery, I always charge it at night while I'm in a fetal position imaging why I have a phone that sux, lol.
This is becoming very typical now for smart phones other than the iPhone and BB.
I don't think the blackberry battery is awesome. I have a Tour and never make a full day. I don't talk much, but I do alot of texting and web. I can't wait to have a screen I don't have to squint at all day! I am ok with limited battery for the bigger screen because my battery life already sucks.
I have a wall charger at work as well as at home. Constantly charging around 3 in the afternoon now, why should that have to change.
My blackberry battery lasts on average 2-3 days.
Are you kidding? I go out with friends to the bars in the evening a lot and lots of my iphone using friends have to take chargers *to the bar* because their phones are dead by 8 or 9 pm. I've found the current iPhones to have almost identical battery life compared to, say, my Pre or Touch Pro. Basically from the time I get up until maybe 8 or 9pm I am good. If I plan on going out, I try to charge at home first.
As long as you are getting a day out of it with moderate usage, I don't think anyone can complain too much. This day and age, these phones are so powerful that battery life is always in question. If you use your phone constantly, like myself, then just be sure you have yourself a car charger and maybe an extra charging cable at work.
