I am even thinking about switching to that 3000mAh extended battery. So what if it makes the phone a little bigger? If the phone lasts twice as long on one charge then Its worth it. The thing is like a laptop that fits in my pocket. So why not?
Even with the standard battery I get pretty good life out of it. I surf a little (maybe 15mins total) if that, I rarely watch videos, and I text like a maniac. I also hardly TALK on the phone. However the ONLY gripe I have with the phone is the heating of the battery. I just cant see how that would be good for the device with something getting THAT hot back there?
I work with electronics everyday, and one thing I know is HEAT is not good for them. lol
If HTC could find a way to make their battery last as long as the Iphone, then they would put the Iphone outta business. Hands down a better phone then the Iphone.
Just my 2 cents.

What about the screen size, mass-compatibility, app store, capactive screen, GREAT build quality, (not like the Pro's, which is terrible,) and the fluid performance of the iPhone?

I see where you are going with your comments, but it's really hard to justify a comment like, "hands down better than the Iphone."

If the iPhone had WM on it, or was at least compatible with WM applications, I bet most of us wouldn't be using HTC products...

Hell, I would bet that if someone hacked the iPhone into running WM, about 25% of people in here would switch instantly. Huge battery, big screen, compatible with thousands of docks/media players/car stereos/etc...

... and this is coming from someone who absolutely despisesApple, and all their business practices. I just don't think the Pro, or Diamond, or any phone really, is "hands down," better than the iPhone.

Even the Pre is not hands-down better, because it won't have the same large user base/app store... It will get there eventually, but it will take time.
