Here we go...

I am not being defensive, would say the same about iPhone, 3DS, Zune, whatever the hell else you wanna throw at it for "products"... I gave my opinion and provided alternatives like anything else.
I have no brand loyalty.. I buy anything that is "neat" or "cool" or best bang for the buck.
We see "battery" complaints all the time. It has been this way for most products that are power hungry the last 5 years. People should expect this. And thus if you wont sit there for 3 hours at a time on a phone, I expect people not to sit there for 3 straight hours on a hand held either. Same difference.
As things get more and more powerful, power will always be the issue. It is not as simple as slapping a higher capacity battery in there, because A) cost, B) they run way hotter, and C) higher capacity batteries tend to have a lower shelf life then lower capacity ones, and are much larger so the form factor is an issue.
My comments have nothing to do with "Playstaion brand".

But to tell me I "need a new phone" when logic is simple...

That 3-5 hour stat is "constant use" ... "stand by" with random play, like you would your phone, it will last just as long if not longer than most smart phones.
In closing, the battery life issue I was responding to the article writers complaint. As if he lives in a land of make believe, in which power hungry products seem to last so much longer than what appears to be in line with everything else on the market. The poster did not even comment on it, other than to say I needed a new phone, when I used it as comparison. In which I again, compared use for use.
