</div>It doesn't. This is perhaps my single BIGGEST complaint. I don't<br>
really mind that the battery dies in 5 hours, because I can plug it up<br>
within that window. What bothers the hell out of me is that the phone<br>
runs itself into the ground to the point where it can't even be turned<br>
on without an hour of slow charging. :( I understand this is a<br>
firmware issue and that at least this last part has been corrected in<br>
the Freerunner.<br>
