Yeah, 55 bucks for a battery. I realize it's all high technology and all that, but I can't see spending all this money on accessories... $25 for a bodyguard, $55 for a battery, another $25 for a decent case... I think I'll just keep my usb cable nearby (it's small enough, and since I work in PC Support there's always power near) and learn not to fall asleep in my chair holding it at eye level and drop it (yeah, oops on my part yesterday). I mean, I'll learn to be more careful with it and as far as the battery goes, once the novelty of the phone wears off, I'll be able to make it last a LOT longer.
