Re: Is switching to iPhone just because of battery a bad decision?

Iphone battery is crap too. 6-7 hours on light use is terrible on the evo. I get 24+ hours on pretty light usage.

Your main battery issues have to do with what kernel you are running on ,what PRL you have, what sort of signal you have with your carrier,your battery size,syncing frequency,and running apps in the background.

I would invest in a extended battery,root your phone,and run a custom rom first.That will only cost you maybe 50 at the most. If you are living/working in an area that your signal is terrible then your battery life will always be bad unless you airplane mode it or run skype off wifi for calls. Might as well not have a phone then though if you have to do that.
