I have bought numerous cellular phones over the years, as I am sure most people have, and while none have been that outstanding, some have most definitely been crap. The only problem I have ever had with my cell phones has been with the batteries. The cell phone battery has either broke or it just would not last long enough and I would need to get and carry a replacement battery.
I do use my cellular phone heaps, both for my job and for home use, so having a second battery is often worth it but having to replace a faulty or damaged battery is such a pain. My current phone is working ok but I would like a replacement battery for when I am travelling.

So for now the true question is do I spend the money getting a new Symbol MC70 Enterprise Digital Assistant mobile phone battery or do I just buy a new phone with a better performing battery? Replacement batteries are reasonably cheap but a new phone would be good too. Always decisions need to be made.
