    if you take care of it and are fine with not having the latest and greatest.

    Also as long as they can get a battery replacement, it should go the distance. I would source them now, rather than in a few years when they may be hard to find.

      Eh, charging twice a day isn’t such a hassle. As long as the phone isn’t losing significant charge when its in sleep mode, it’s still a good daily driver.

      Sounds great until you get that battery out and realize it’s dead because it was slowly discharging over the years and has gone below the recovery level.
