I must admit though, I did have the phone for like 4 hours before I rooted



My wife is a stay at home mom, she was getting about 8 hours out of her battery with moderate to heavy use... perhaps signal in the area had a part to play but none the less I told her I would take care of it for her. I rooted her phone, tossed Fresh Evo .53 on it and now (under the same conditions with regards to location and useage) she gets 14 hours... if that isn't reason enough alone to root then I don't know what is.

To rooting! Have a great 4th of July if you're in the US.
