I have provided plenty of data to show the radios are VERY Inefficient. I would consider that is a design flaw! When other phones on the market are 60-75% efficient, to have a 13% efficient transmitter, I would consider that a Design flaw.

When a phone marketed for Business users, gets uncomfortably hot to hold when on extended phone calls (while off the charger). I would consider that a design flaw (Since a majority of business users DO carry on extended conversations). When said phone will not make it through an 8 hour day of normal business use, I would call that a design flaw.

But there is an easy fix! If the Radios were 60% efficient, THE ENTIRE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. But the only people that can fix this is HTC who do not seem to be taking the issue seriously!
On that note, according to UPS, I am getting my FOURTH Touch Pro tomorrow. My work day will be very unproductive, at best. I will take measurements, and use the battery utility.

If this phone has the same issues, I'm throwing in the towel. Perhaps I will look into the Xperia unlocked. BB is already pre-ordering them for $700 I believe. Due out November 28th. Similar features, but hopefully designed better. I would pay a huge premium to get a phone that works.
