We rolled out a fleet of these for one of our clients and they are GREAT phones, however the battery life on them are pretty poor. We tried using high capacity batteries and still not that great. Mind you that our client was using alot of GPS tracking and data services on their handsets. Anyone else out there notice that phone technology has improved but battery technology has stayed relatively stagnant the past decade or so?
