We can all expect horrible battery life. I have the HTC Evo with Sprint...and well it sucks the battery life pretty quick. Can't say it's really any worse than my TP2 I had...they both are Smartphones that have crazy specs...even the Droid X does..my sister and brother in law have the X and love it. Just have to get used to the battery life, or be like me and have 2 spare battery's just in case, all of which were free.... :P

battery life is great on the droid x compared to all top android phones released in the last several months.

The verizon extended battery is awesome. EVen though it is slightly fatter, it still fits inside a shell case and the power of it is amazing.

I use the hell out of my phone and yesterday I used it for 14 hours and still had plenty of battery left. I leave my gps on at all times and my screen never times out.

I can also add, my battery life is about 4 times better than my bosses evo.

I had an Evo and you could not go ANYWHERE without a charger being close by. Ive got a DX now and the battery longevity is WAY better. I can go all day without a charge. I keep a lot of things running in the background like my email, weather, facebook, ECT.

I do keep BT, WiFi and GPS off because I dont need them but they were off on my Evo also. To me the DX is FAR better. No complaints about battery life here.

My boss finally dumped his EVO, switched to verizon, and bought an X.

His main complaint was the atrocious EVO battery life.

I'm using the Seidio extended battery. Same form factor so it fits right into the original shell without needing a larger battery cover. It does feel slightly heavier though. And at 1750mah it gets me through a heavy day of usage with plenty of power to spare!

Droid X is unbeatable right now when it comes to battery life...
