OK, so I just entered the 21st century and got a smartphone (droid 2 worldphone). So help me make this thing indispensable with things I need as a photographer, as I'm close to sending it back and going back to my old world phone with the pull-up antenna. I'm used to 5+ days of battery life on a 6-year old standard battery. The droid 2 went down to 20% battery on an extended battery after only 10 hours! And I barely used it. So now it seems like I must add a car battery to my backpack if I'm going to be away from power very long. Two days battery life would be the minimum I think is acceptable.
So, convince me this this really is useful. I downloaded a sunrise/sunset moonrise/moonset time app. That's cool. I would like to have azimuth too. How about a good tide calculator? What other apps do you use on your smartphone?
And if anyone knows of some tricks to get the battery life longer, I would be appreciative (mind you my 3 sons, 2 in IT and all 3 smart phone wizards have tried helping).
Roger
