Perhaps smartphones need to degrade gracefully to a dumb phone when battery hits 20%.



Blackberry devices do this. It is infuriating.


Yes, it would be infuriating wouldn't it?

That's interesting, because once a phone runs out of juice, is it because we tend to see it as "dead", and no longer fret over it. However - if it still runs, but with some disability, we'd be constantly reminded of our loss every time we made a phone call.
