yeah i'm aware of how bad li-ons can be with age, i've been using the ones that came with the phone, used, so they're likely about two years old. i'm getting a geniune so i know fer sure how well this thing behaves. i cant even keep an active internet connection if i wanna go more than 6 hours. i reflash probably once every two weeks due to experimentation, so thats not an issue. i just wanna know what i should expect usage-wise coming from a possibly two year old li-on.
