Daft that I have to charge my iphone in the middle of the day, 10 years ago my nokia lasted best part of a week. Where's the innovation. And do give me its does a lot more, no it dosnt if its out of power.

The first phone to come out of the factory cost a X + lot, lot more in research, design, testing, production, shipping and marketing. Furthermore, supply and demand.

Hopefully it's cheaper than forecast but I won't hold my breath. I suppose it will be the evening time before it's announced? Should be interesting on Christmas morning when my little one is asking why she can't drag and drop files onto it and why nothing will play! "Hey honey, you asked for this!"

It was something to do with a gas contained within the battery that had regulators and safety heads rattled and have held it up. In test's it powered a Galaxy S3 for 10 days. There is also the new li-ion electrode that they say increases those batteries by 10 fold. It's signed off as viable product but due to non mass production as of yet it's still far too expensive. Oh and in relation to the poster complaining and saying how his nokia held a 2 week charge or whatever. Yeah if you've got mono green screen, no data and don't use it for music then yes you will get 2 weeks out of it. There was a company in germany about 2 years ago for a laugh took a 4S battery and worked it to power a 5110. It lasted over a month on a single charge.
