With more bells and whistles on cell phone it seems the batteries don't
last as long between charges, and even larger capacity after market
batteries don't do as well as I might expect. Does anyone know of a site
that compares phones model by model so with my next purchase I might
have a better shot at getting a good phone with long battery life
instead of just taking what the kid is pushing the day I walk into the
store?

If you were to use it as a phone and not a toy, then it would last a lot longer.

Thanks to the guy with the smartass response, but some of us don't check
our email, play games, take pictures and send them to people we don't
know, but just need to talk, and get tired of having to change out
batteries mid stream.

Have you tried discharging the battery on a regular basis and recharging it?
It makes a difference.

And BTW, what are all the whistles and bells you talk of if which use the
battery if you are now saying you only use it to talk?

Every couple of months I pull the battery and bleed it down to 2.8 volts
using a little device with a small light bulb. At 2.8 volts it bottoms
out and my readings indicate that this is as far as one needs to go, and
then I follow it with a full charge. It has helped some, but lithium ion
isn't supposed to have the same memory problems as nickel cadmium. As
for the bells and whistles, this phone is a Samsung N400. It can go to
the internet, do text messaging, blah blah blah. I just talk, and have
an aftermarket large capacity battery. Still isn't good enough for me. I
guess I expect the battery to last at least a day.

Is there at least one (or more) newer model cellphone(s) that will allow you to:
1.) purchase two batteries
2.) purchase a desktop charging unit
Thus allowing you to:
1.) charge one battery while speaking with the other one already in the phone?

Help.
