I was thinking. My Razr had great battery life for about a year and then it just died (but from talking to everyone else who had it, it happened to them as well). I think part of the problem I had was I charged it every night, cycling the system too often. Is it better for the battery to charge it when I gets to say, 20 percent or can it be charged every night without any problems?
 
Everyone I know who owns a Motorola phone ends up complaining about the really bad battery life, especially after a while owning it. My manager has his continually charging.

I charge my iPod very often. While I'm listening to it at work, I have it plugged into the laptop.
 
i've been going down to at least 20% each time. but it's only been a few since it since it is new.
 
i don't charge mine very often. . mainly because i have the brightness turned all the way down, and only turn on the wifi when i need it. i charge it every two days or so. but when i find myself using the wifi a lot, i charge it every night. i have no complaint with the battery life. . with my razr, i do. and even my blackberry pearl. even turning brightness down, i still have to charge it every day. oh well. technology isn't perfect.
 
really when ever it needs it. it doesnt get used constantly all day so i dont need to charge it everyday. so maybe 3-4 times a week. and sometimes not even to full charge. it charges fast, some times in the time it takes me to sync
 
Ive only had it 2 weeks, but ive really only charged it 3 times, I do it whenever its at least 20% or less. Dont know how its gonna work in the future, never had any apple product before but so far good experiences. My razr v3xx I charge every other day at most, sometimes every 3 days depends on usage. It has lasted great had about 1.5 years.
