[real shift]

Well, I have had my Epic for a week now and think the battery life is very comparable to the Evo's pre 2.2. Honestely, I noticed a large jump in battery life with the Evo after the OTA. I can't complain about the length of time I am getting with my Epic's battery: 4 hrs heavy use, 6 hrs medium, 8-10 no use. My screen brightness is set to Auto. I went ahead and added the sprint's wifi package this morning, turned on the 4g and surfed on my laptop until I got the first battery warning, which was three and a half hours. Not to shabby running 4g and kicking wifi. I do use Samsung's built in app manager to close programs, mainly for the World War game. Otherwise I'm running pretty stock and am pretty happy with my current battery life. I am hoping that Froyo will give me another hour or two. My biggest problem with this phone is the lack of sensitivity of the 4 bottom bezel buttons. I constantly am hitting home or menu three or four times. I may take this phone back just for that. I have friends who say their buttons are extremely sensitive. Any thoughts?
