"I do text message all day long, but that what phones are FOR!"

sorry, but that just doesn't sit right with me for some reason.. haha

and i think it's generally a bad idea to charge your phone longer than it needs charging, and to charge it if it's not fully dead. i could be wrong tho

That matters for nickel-cadmium batteries, but I don't think it matters if you have a lithium ion battery which I assume she has since very few people still use nicad batteries.

so i can leave it on the charger all night without it being bad? and yea sometimes i put it on the c harger when there is still one bar left... but if i don't, then by the time i wake up it'll be dead and i'll hve to leave it home chargeing while i go to school WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF A CELL PHONE!

yeah.. but why does it seem so that many phone batteries go to crap after a few months?

usually batteries last about 300 charge cycles - approx. 1 year. usually they last longer if they are only charged once per day w/the phone turned OFF (melody) and not talked on while charging (melody)

lately i've been having some really crappy batteries though, i think this is a ploy to get people to buy more phones

so should i just buy a new battery? how do i go about doing this?
