        People here seem to disagree but batteries don't last nearly as long as the devices I have or as long as advertised. - Krusty Sep 5, 07:16 3
        
        It's not that big a deal on phones. Batteries Plus and many other stores replace them on most phones for basically the cost of the battery -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 07:19 2
        
        If they didn't lock it in I could do it myself and I wouldn't have to go to a store. - Krusty Sep 5, 07:23

There's a primary for city offices next week and I'll be in Toronto. All the races seem to be given so.... - ty97 Sep 5, 06:22 9
