My battery life seems OK. I'm running Mango Beta 2 and I find it much more snappier than NoDo. I normally get 8 hours with normal use.

As for the keyboard question. I had the original Droid with the slide out keyboard. I got use to using the internal touch keyboard and never used the slide out so I don't miss it with the Trophy.

I had the Samsung focus for a short while and I like the build of the Trophy much better. Feels a lot more secure should I accidently drop the phone.
