I'm not exactly easily impressed. But from the first day out of the box, I've been loving this phone. The VGA picture alone is worth a couple of dozen minor inconveniences (which I don't personally notice any of). And with the advice and tweaks on this forum, it keeps getting better and better every week. Even on stock rom and radio.

Yeah, the battery life is challenging. But it's no more challenging than driving a Porche with a SmartCar engine in it would be. I work at home and keep chargers in all the rooms I use most. Also have one in my car. (Lucked out because all my Apache chargers fit.) I had one total battery burnout and device shutdown episode when my wife was making a long phonecall and didn't notice the drainage because the screen was blacked out. Right after that, I installed Batti and set all the warnings it had . Also installed TouchLock Pro with that handy numeric percentage battery icon under the digital time. And someday soon, some genius is going to come up with a stock-sized battery that delivers Porch-size usage life.

If I had more than two thumbs, I'd give it more than Two Thumbs Up.
