guess the other big downside is the replacability of the battery. I just got a phone a month ago from verizon. First thing I always do is go to ebay, order another wall charger (for work), extra battery, and a car charger. $12.99 shipped on ebay. If I am paying for a phone, I want to be able to use it at all times. Definitely couldn't have a phone with a battery life less than a day. I would be screwed on weekends.

From what I hear the ipod batteries start lasting ~2 days and drop quickly from there. I don't have any first hand experience, just know what my friends say.
