AT&T's Latest GoPhone Runs On AA Batteries

All joking aside, it makes perfect sense. If you're only going to use this in an emergency, you won't want to keep it on a charger all the time, since that will destroy the battery, but you also don't want to put it in a drawer, since the battery will likely be dead when you need it. Using AA batteries is a great solution.
