        <description><![CDATA[It's actually got to the point with my HTC Desire that if I am out on business, I have to keep the phone plugged into the car charger whilst talking because, in my estimation, a 10 min call will diminish 10-15% of battery power. And if I'm browsing the internet? Gone in one hour. We've put a man on the moon over 40 years ago and cell phone batteries are still at this stage of development!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I see your point... I've flown hours and not used my laptop because I was afraid I would want that battery life later more than now.  But generally, I don't worry about using my iPhone for entertainment.  It can play movies for hours, music for a day, games for longer than I'm likely to stay entranced.  I'm also not likely to spend more than an hour on the phone once I get where I'm going, so maybe that's just my use case.Now, I haven't found the need myself, but there are external battery packs for the iPhone.  Throw one of those in your travel kit.  If you need it, you have it.  And you don't even have to power down to get a second wind.  Problem solved.  Also, who flies overnight playing with their iPhone, then goes to work all day?  When do you sleep??  ]]></description>

There have been many times I wondered &quot;Why bother?&quot; because I had used 10% during the day.Refined hardware, tightly coupled to a well-optimized OS.  This is one thing that Android just can't offer.  (Though, yes, it does have plenty of its own advantages over iOS.)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I drive another hot Android, the Galaxy S, and instead of hog-tieing the phone to minimise energy use, I bought a few spare batteries.  You can get two plus a charger for about $10 on eBay.  I get through a normal day on a single charge, but if I'm flying long distance or making heavy use of the phone, it takes less than a minute to power down, swap the battery, and restart.  And while you're doing that, you can ask all those smug iPhone users around you how long it takes them to swap a battery.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I like the phone except for two things.  The battery life is too short. I don't currently have 4G in my area and with 3G my battery lasted less than 12 hr although I basically did not use the internet and only had a couple of short phone calls. The battery went completely dead and after it charged a little, I had to reset things like Bluetooth that I would have expected to be in nonvolatile memory.  Also, since you need to plug it in to do anything heavy, setting the phone up with the included stand puts the plug on the bottom which is awkward.  Looks like HTC didn't have many design reviews or &quot;common sense&quot; reviews before going into production.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jason, in tip 2 about sycning you steer us to &quot;go to Menu | Settings | Accounts &amp; sync&quot;. On my Moto Droid X the path is go to Menu | Settings | Accounts, and there is no setting for sync there. Would you or anyone else out there have that location for me?I would point out that the Droid X is currently using Android 2.2 with the 2.3 update pending, maybe I just need to wait for 2.3.In the meantime I control syncing with a sync widget, I manually turn sync on &amp; off as needed. Of course I kick myself when I forget to sync often enough.]]></description>
