No. Because carriers are idiots. The carriers require you to allow them to force a firmware upgrade on you. This kills your battery dead long before anything

No. Because carriers are idiots. The carriers require you to allow them to force a firmware upgrade on you. This kills your battery dead long before anything you would do on the device will. Technically, however, 10 year battery life is generally unreasonable. Most batteries that exist self-discharge over 10 years. 5 years is doable, but requires quite solid engineering. 3 years is pretty reasonable for most things. If you want 10 year lifetimes, I think you specifically need lithium thionyl chloride batteries.
