I think part of the problem was the first batch of the phones. I got mine a week ago and i agree alot with what smeg said on his second one, i have very little issues with battery. Yes it is nearly dead by the end of the day, but im playing with it quite a bit with text,mp3, and voice calls. I would say i talk about an hour to hour 1/2 a day, nothing super but phone does fine. The back gets slightly warm, but i havent experienced the burning that most people post about. I have to agree on the d pad, if you dont find the sweet spot, then it can be a struggle to move around the menus.
