in the end it's the screen that uses most of the battery... i guarantee there will be little difference between the TP2 battery usage and the Evo, but we'll see... the screen is just too big for such a small battery, plain and simple. HTC likes to "recycle" batteries from other models to save money.. they aren't going to create a battery for each phone they release.. soon they will realize they need to upgrade them along with their phones.
i may just buy a hat with an integrated solar panel and attach my phone to it lol..
