You should be okay. You can throw an external battery (plug into the phone and it recharges the phone once or twice) into your briefcase if you are paranoid. About the size of a pack of gum.

The Torch sounds pretty nice if you want to stay w/ BB. If you do that much email, the physical kb is nice. I've gotten used to the onscreen kb but I'd still like a physical one.
