Sidney,
Our main problem with the unit is that if you need either WiFi or Bluetooth, it drains the battery in half the normal time. Typical frigging Apple product that they do not have removeable batteries so you are screwed if you do not have access to a charger.
Friend of mine almost got stranded in the desert because his wonderful Iphone went into roaming mode and drained the battery in an hour. He barely noticed it and called for help before it shut down. Another friend was over here last weekend and begging me to use my car's 12v accy outlet to charge his Iphone. His rental car did not have a 12v outlet and he had been away from home for a day and the phone was shutting down.
I have a handful of batteries and while I rarely need them, if the power level gets low I just pop the back off and stick a new fresh battery in the BB. Works good. Why is Apple always playing games with almost everything they sell and not allowing users to replace batteries?! Sorry, not for me!
