If I want a camera ...

... I'll use a camera. If I want a phone, I'll use a phone. I won't use my camera to make a call. I won't use my phone to take a picture. Capeesh?

Nothing is simple anymore, is it? Besides, these extra "upgrades" to devices drain their batteries that much quicker.

While cell phone talk times generally range from 3 to 7 hours, once you add in extra duties, such as Internet use and video, all bets are off when it comes to figuring out battery life.
