i think they make things to break after a certain time so you have to buy new stuff. have a htc evo sprint phone and after 6 months the battery wouldnt last but 4 hours. was going to buy a new batt for 50 bucks and found a batt optimizer app and now my batt lasts all day long!

What app is that? I have the same phone with the same battery issue.

For a second there, I thought ya said " Whats an app? "

As for apps, oy! The one app I want for my phone, you can't ~get~ for my phone. I wanted a simple Solitaire game that I could play while I was in the waiting room for my doc appointments. Nope, not available. And I'm not buying a $200+ ~phone~ just to be able to play solitaire.

Then again, mebbe an old second-hand Nintendo DS would do me. My older sis has two munchkins addicted, mebbe I can wait until one upgrades then 'absorb' the old hardware (being the family tech and all)

I mean come on, its a PHONE... not a piece of 007 hardware!

PS: most laptops come with battery-optimizer s/w these days, even my 2.5 y/o Samsung came with one. Try this Brickie:
