If you're not joking, I'm curious how long the battery lasts nowadays. Has it significantly declined since you first got it?

- mi100hael 10y agoIt has one of those old-fashioned replaceable batteries, so he could always just buy a new one if it goes downhill.
- slededit 10y agoThat's assuming they are still manufactured. With my old blackberry there were batteries on Amazon, but they were clearly expired stock and could barely hold a charge.
- joosters 10y agoSome batteries seem to live on. I bought a no-name cheap dashcam for my car, and was surprised to see that its battery was identical to the one in my first Nokia phone.
- cptskippy 10y agoIf he's referring the flip phone, and not the Droid Razr, then we're talking about a phone that had a standby time measured in weeks. At best it lasts probably 10x longer than today's smartphones so even a 75% reduction in battery life is still better than what we deal with today.
- shinratdr 10y agoIt's amazing how long a battery can last when it's connected to a device that doesn't do anything. Have you ever measured the battery life of a battery still in the package? It's amazing, standby time is like years.
- vsgxvhdxh 10y agoSome people still want their phone to (1) make phone calls (2) make phone calls. For them a phone that makes phone calls and the battery lasts a week is far more full featured.
- shinratdr 10y agoYeah and some people still want a typewriter. They can have one. That doesn't make it any more useful than the one trick device it is.
