OK, I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm very green to all of this cellular lingo and such. So, feel free to talk to me like I'm an idiot, because in this world, I am.
I'm heavily debating getting this phone. Battery life is the largest selling point, or reason to avoid a phone for me. Right now I'm using a iPhone 3G. My iPhone meets my needs, and has never died on me during the work day. My work involves me driving all across the state of Indiana. Indianapolis and surrounding areas should have 4G, but other area's I'm sure it will vary quite a bit. I would expect that to hurt battery life.
OK, to the point, my job involves me driving to 30+ people's houses a day some days covering 200-300 miles a day round trip and others I don't even cover 40 miles. It varies greatly. I generally use my iPhone for maps all throughout the day, some days more than others. Problem being, my work truck doesn't always have a working cigarette lighter so I can't always charge my phone at all. So I really need a phone that can make it through the day without fear of it dying all the time.
Should I be in fear of this? Or should I be okay? Anyone used an iPhone before switching to the Atrix? What were the battery life differences? I saw in the specifications it has a bigger battery (mAh wise - whatever the heck that is) than any other phone I've seen, but I'm sure there are a lot of variables on how much of a difference that makes. So I'm certainly not going off that number solely.
Thanks in advance for any help, or replies.
