The battery life sucks already. With this, It's going to suck even more.

The battery life on my iPhone is far better than my Treo ever was.
I charge about once every 3 days.

3 days on standby only then yes. But real world use is about a day, day and
a half. I've played with a friends for a weekend and starting at a full
charge talked about 1 hour, with Bluetooth on for that hour call. Surf over
the painful slow edge connection and the battery was showing one bar left. 3
days on standby, yes. using the other functions, not going to happen.

Sad part of not letting the user swap the battery has the user watching the
battery more and more. Will I have enough to last and If so, how long ? Can
I make it thru the day ? All of which could have been avoided if apple were
to have allowed the user to change the battery on his own.

Being designed for the most incredibly stupid amoungst us, they left
out many tasks it was determined were too complex for "web
appliance users" to accomplish, without driiving tech support
bananas, such as changing batteries, memory cards, plugging and
unplugging external data gadgets, or pairing useful bluettooth
devices like the external keyboard I'm typing this message on from my
Nokia BT keyboard, paired with the n800 Linux tablet bluetoothed to
my MotoROKR SELLphone to the home XP box via another omitted feature,
installable free software, rdesktop.

Same reason disposable flashlights were invented...(c

Sad part is, Apple didn't deploy an iCharger function to charge (pardon
the pun) users to charge the phone on their own.

People who like things to work without spending all their time
troubleshooting and finding third party software that doesn't crash the
unit?
Count me in.
