When your battery dies you're screwed. The only true problem I've had with this phone is letting the battery completly drain itself. The charger and the phone have relly tiny contact zones making a connected circut relatively difficult. When I need to do a full recharge I have to do all sorts of crazy loops and whatnot to secure the charger to the phone. If Sony Ericsson were to make a charging cradle for these phones I'd be most happy.Otherwise the phone is pretty good for its price, there's a lot of memory, the resolution is alright and the phone is comfortable and stylish for larger individuals like myself.
