Gee, silly me, caring about the cellular talk time on my phone. That's the last thing anyone should use a phone for.

  You talk on your phone for 9.3+ hours /day between charges? That sucks, I'm sorry.

  Judging from my own use and people I know, cellular talk time is one of the things people do on smartphones the _least_ these days.

  In 10 years the word "phone" will no longer be associated with voice communications more than any other type.

  I know exactly how you feel, but I'm pretty sure people using smarthphones nowadays practically stopped caring about battery life as it's close to non-existent anyway since you have to plug in your device every single day. Personally I couldn't live like that (nor can you probably, if I interpret the tone of your post correctly), partly because I don't want to be enslaved to charging partly because I would forget it anyway, so the only option left is to either buy a phone that's not so 'smart' hence doesn't starve the battery in a day or get a smartphone and don't use it's smart features. As far as I can see, there's just no way around it. Which is an utter shame of course. As a comparision: I've always been a portable audio fan and in that area there seems to actually have been an increase in battery life while for the phone market it seems to be the other way around. I have a semi-professional portable player/recorder and using two standard AA batteries it serves me well playing audio for over a month. Or actually so long I never counted, but will be easily over 40 hours. It's a joy to use compared to any phone I ever owned, except the fixed on on my desk :]

  You're being snarky, but using my smartphone as an actual phone might be my least-performed activity. There's a running joke between me and all my tech buddies that my phone (32gb iPhone 5) is a terrible phone, but an awesome pocket-computer.
