You can download firefox on the HTC android phones.
Battery life on my desire is usually good enough to get me to and from work whilst surfing the internet + any texting and talking I do throughout the day, although I do top it up via USB when I'm in the office. I expect the new one will be about the same.

google says Nokia 1110Originally posted by russell View PostI've had an HTC Desire for a while and the battery life is extremely short. I have to have chargers at work, in my car, and at home of course. If I don't use it the battery may last 8 hours, that with it turned off.
Which phone has the best battery?

As long as the battery is new.
At least the battery can be changed on non-Apple devices though!
