Wow, my experience is quite the opposite - as far as battery life, this thing lasts twice as long as my old htc touch pro and I use this a heck of a lot more. No need to charge at all during the day, basically put it on charge at night and take it off in the morning and no need to worry about it. Either you came from something that was wonderful or I came from something that was horrible. Sorry about your experience, but the Droid is da bomb for me
