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