It's still a massive issue for me. My Z3C is the first smartphone I've ever owned that pretty much always makes it through a day, even days with heavy usage and I'm stuck trying to make a call at 2AM. Most smartphones would crap out anywhere from noon to 6-7pm - and my usage isn't that heavy on typical days, maybe 1-2 hours of screen on tops and an hour or two of bluetooth audio. Sure, I'm often around sources of power, but that means I now have to carry cables, chargers, and battery packs around as part of my daily routine or when going hiking and biking. No thanks. With my Z3C, I no longer have to carry all that junk around, and I know I'll still be able to use it in an emergency even if I get stranded somewhere. And even if I carry all that crap around, just because I'm usually around sources of power doesn't mean I'm always around sources of power.
