Never had it run out of battery life yet.
Plug it into it's charger last thing at night, so always good to go in the morning.

So I use a Blackberry Curve for work: cheap (now), high quality, easy to use, reliable and a fantastic battery life. And they're not as 'nickable' as smartphones are.

Don't get a cheap phone - the audio quality is usually rubbish.

I like it that BB comes with it's own email address and I find it very easy to monitor responses.

Post by: John Milnes on November 18, 2012, 08:59:08 pm: Just my own opinion.... but I find most smart phones are great at taking photos, sat nav, gaming etc. It seems to me where they fall down is being used as a phone due to poor call quality, dropouts and loosing connectivity where you have to restart them.

I've opted for the most simple phone a Nokia c2 which will give me tinternet, email and not the best phone calls. The best phone that I ever had was the Nokia 6230i which I would never throw away and completely bullet proof! I even still change to it sometimes and it connects to my car.

Gone are the days where you just had a VHS or Betamax and just a landline and people used to talk to each other ;D

Post by: Richard Meads on November 19, 2012, 08:42:30 am: Mine has a power save button which makes it easier, but all it does is turn off all the extras you don't need, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS,, apps running in the background etc. If you turn all that stuff off, you end up with just the phone in use, saves loads of power. I use the satnav on the phone so I also have a charger for the van.
