I have noticed with my Pro, that even though the signal strength shows weaker than it did with my Mogul, I have far fewer dropped calls with the Pro. Big bonus there for me, though I still think I am gonna call Sprint about an Airrave soon.
As for more on the battery life, its terrible that I can't carry on a long voice call while plugged into the wall charger... I talked to my father for 2 hours this morning plugged into the wall, and the phone shut down on me mid conversation... So just having the CDMA radio going while in a call is enough to heat the phone off and trip the charging circuit. Going hogwild with data and killing the battery is one thing, but not being able to carry on a long call just blows my mind.  |
Set it on it's side propped up against something so there is airspace behind the back of the phone (or turn it over) and it will work fine (well, if you are using a bluetooth headset). Otherwise try and not have your hand in direct contact with it. It will stay significantly cooler if you allow breathing room on the back of the device.
