Harmony

My mobile is one of a few possessions that I take everywhere with me and I use it to talk to people hundreds of miles away and this ability blows my mind. Its opened up new opportunities and friendships and improved my relationship with people I already know. Sadly though my relationship with it is not so good. For instance i want to know is how much energy it has and if it needs some juice to wake it up, but I have to have a small conversation with it to find out, (Opening it up, waiting for it to wake up, and looking for the battery symbol) surely there must be a more fluid and natural way of finding this information out?
