I can definitely live with the speaker many are concerned about. I haven't decided 100% what to do yet. I like the phone in many ways and am enjoying Android 1000 times more than what it was just two years ago. I just really am stunned at the battery life but I'm coming from another OS that when tweaked had much better battery life when doing all the same tasks. I think the screen is probably the source of the battery consumption on this thing. My guess is HTC thought it would be more energy efficient than it turned out to be.
