I love my Focus, I really, really do. As of now I wouldn't trade it for another phone. All my friends that are on the iPhone bandwagon are even jealous of my Focus. My one and only complaint is the battery life.
Now I realize coming from a Blackberry Tour I am spoiled when it comes to battery life. That thing would truck for 3-4 days with heavy usage. My Focus barely gets me through the day currently. I know there are tons of tricks to improve battery life, Turning off data and multiple other features, but if I do that what is the point of even owning a Focus? I honestly don't do a lot of talking on my phone which is going to eat up the majority of your battery. I would say about 90% of my communicating is through text messaging. I have come to the realization that it's more than likely just how hard my phone has to work to acquire a signal. I live in a densely populated downtown area where most of the buildings are brick. As much as I love having GSM it really is the worst as far as building penetration goes.
I guess to end my rant I have come to accept the battery life as is. My question is has anyone seen an aftermarket battery charger for the Focus yet? Something I could have on my desk to charge a second battery on it's own? That way I could just swap out one battery while I charge the other one.
I know this is reaching deep as it's been a bit frustrating to find Focus accessories. I very well could switch out to a newer model later this fall as well if this doesn't work.
Just wondering if anyone else feels my pain?
