I find battery to be good and I don't have unnecessary heat issues. Rather than speak in detail about my experience, I did a quick search and here's what some tech review sites had to say about the battery when they tested the Sprint phone. I don't see any surprises. None of them mention abnormal heat problems and if it was as wide of a problem as some suggest, I'd think at least one would have mentioned it and subtracted huge points.

MobileTechReview: Battery life isn't the Touch Pro's strong point. Feature-packed Windows Mobile Pro phones don't generally have very good battery life and the Touch Pro barely makes it through the day with moderate to heavy use. Very heavy users will either need to charge during the day or purchase a second battery. It lasts about 1.5 days with light to moderate use.

Ubergizmo: The battery life is actually pretty good. This phone did last almost two days before requiring a charge. I set it up to receive push-email and I read/reply fairly often. Plus, WIFI was on although I did not browse a whole lot. That basically means that you can forget to charge it once in the evening and get away with it.

CrunchGear: Battery life is passable, but you won’t want to stray too far away from the charger. With frequent use, you’ll need to plug it in every night. You might be able to squeeze two full days of light-to-moderate use out of it, but the battery indicator might make you a little nervous by mid-morning on day two. Thankfully the phone can be recharged with standard mini USB cables, which are pretty easy to find in a pinch.

CNET: The HTC Touch Pro features a 1,340mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 3.75 hours. In our battery drain tests, the Touch Pro was able to beat the rated talk time slightly with a total of 4.25 hours.

LaptopMag: The Touch Pro is rated for up to 4 hours of talk time, so you’ll want to bring a charger along if you’ll be using the phone as your primary multimedia device. We listened to music, surfed the Web, and made a few phone calls during a 24-hour period before the battery died.
