First black then blue and now red, I sure wish they'd make up their mind on which colors actually burn less engery.

or how about your use your $500 phone to do whatever the hell you want with it, bring a second battery along if you want to double your battery life!

Why not just get a regular phone if you're not going to use it to it's potential?

Why dont try N0kia 1110, its battery last at least 10 days on regular use

Lol, don't take this so seriously guys. I just found this online and figured someone here would find it interesting, I wasn't suggesting everyone starts using a one color screen all of a sudden, I personally don't want to either.

However, I can see how this could be useful if you're running out of battery somewhere where you won't be able to recharge for a while.

I would totally use this. One time I had tried streaming a live event to ustream and had one backup battery pack and no public accessible power. I got a lot of the event untill both batteries had nearly drained, after the event I was living on the edge of my phone turning off while I tried to navigate with gps to the destination of my ride home. Turning this on would have saved me some stress for sure.
