I have a book port but don't always have it with me like i do my mobile. to be able to just grab it and listen to a book on the go whether on a long car ride, dr's appointment that's gone on too long or whatever it is useful. I have also bought one of those battery powered chargers that is portable so if my phone decides to go flat, I have a way to charge it. I got about 8 hours of continuous listening and I think that's pretty reasonable. I'm addicted to reading and this fulfils my addiction. I would also like to see a feature where you can skip back 10 or 20 sxeconds but oh well. It's much better than trying to do it with the music player where there is no way to set a book mark.

At least on my N82, the battery suck of daisy2go is frightening. My phone will only run daisy2go for about 6 hours. The VR Stream goes for over 12, easily. That's important as my n82 is my calendar, clock, phone, gps unit, remote wireless access point (yay data!), note-taker (yay bluetooth keyboard!), call recorder, etc. When my N82 is flat, my day is over. When my Stream is flat...sure, I can't read, but I can still, you know, travel. Use the 'net. Check my appointments. Take notes. Communicate. Go on with my life. I just can't afford to have daisy2go eat all my battery and still have half the day to go.
