dude that's what I had and lost Tuesday night, hammered drunk. I LOVED that phone. That's why I got the BBerry

I'm loving the Blackberry right now, eventhough I'm mostly a Treo guy.

Did you get the Blackberry plan also?

if you go to the video camera and change the flash to full time on, it works like a flashlight

I dunno about other smart phone owners... but you just kinda get used to charging it every day. At least, I have. I think the iPhone would prolly go like 36 hours with my normal usage... but it's no good if it dies halfway through the next day, so it gets charged every day. Same with my Treo 680 (it needed it!) and Treo 650 too (though that sucker could go 48-72 hours -- no idea how!).
