[Lancaster] Android G1 phone?

[Wayne Ward]

I just stopped using it totally - i followed all the guides how to cut 
the power usage down but
i have to charge it twice a day!
Ive looked at some extended batteries seems like the answer..
there is a double battery were you need a bigger back on the phone or 
one the same size so no horrible back sticking out! which ill probably 
go for.
The keyboard is wicked but a virtual keyboard would be handy aswell as 
the proper keyboard
