Um, not sure. I wasn't an early adopter, so 4+ years?

And... I think it was ~โ‚ฌ400 + usual taxes and delivery, so, say โ‚ฌ450 in total?

It's basically in use everyday, although I don't spend that much time on calls, but with (my own enabled) GPS trackers and sensors enabled for Home Automation and generally letting the family know where I am, I'll easily get a day out of the battery...

If I'm travelling I'm using the phone a lot more so the spare battery would probably be needed (in a 18 hour work day)

I've also bought a replacement bottom module as the USB port has become a little loose from charging... not replaced it yet (to get the most out of it), but will do soon.

So, yeah, the best bits are: instant battery replacement / recharging (it's great walking past all the other phone users tethered to their wall chargers) and longevity with replacment parts that I can change myself. (And still getting updates)
