Default How often do you charge your phone?

My current phone (HTC touch) is starting to lose its charge i think... the phone is almost 2 yrs old and it will barely last a day.... have to charge it before i go to sleep, or even as soon as i get home from work... depending on use.....

problem is im not even using it for much.. i have it check email automatically every hour... and maybe talk on for like an hour... the rest is emails/txts.... very little web-browsing or other applications.... i can't even listen to music on it because its battery will drain fast.


anyway... looking for a new phone..... one that will at least last 8am-10pm on one charge with music and average use..... (iphone probably)

I charge mine every couple days. I don't do much calling/texting with it, no internet, but I do play a lot of sudoku h:

I plugged mine in every night just because... never know when you may go 2-3 days and not be home.

I charge it every night, along with my laptop.

I run a Samsung Ace, Have it constantly on MSN, checks e mail every 5 min, and use in on the web every day.

About one a week. Only time I really look at it is checking the time at work.

every night just by habit, I have gone days without charging my phone and still being able to use it. I have my car charger which it gets plugged into whenever I am in the car, and then whenever I am at home it gets plugged into one of the 0394234 chargers I have plugged into varies places..:dunno:

Anymore my iPhone's battery won't make it more than 12-13 hours and that's if I put it in limp mode (turn down screen brightness, turn off 3G, turn off GPS, turn off push email, etc.).

But I use it quite a bit at work. :hs:
