A patent has been filed by Motorola for a phone that monitors its own battery power.
ESATO NEWS
The Patent filed by motorola works like this "When a phone senses that its battery is running low it disables all non-vital functionality and blocks in-coming calls. At the same time it switches its Bluetooth transceiver to discovery mode and searches for compatible "proxy" phones nearby.
The failing device then uses a nearby phone to send a warning text message, via Bluetooth, to everyone on a pre-arranged emergency list. This lets them know that they can still get in touch, but only by texting. With the permission of its owner, the proxy phone relays any incoming text messages via the normal mobile phone network and passes them on via Bluetooth."

That sounds pretty smart, but raises security issues.

I guess it will be BEST if you'll just ALWAYS CARRY with you a PORTABLE CHARGER (runs on AA batts) or a Car Battery Charger
