but sniffs, does the bigger battery come with a bigger battery cover? lol

Yah, it comes with a silver one and a black one for the Verizon 6700.. My silver one broke so I use the black one when I use the extended battery.

it may not initially appear so, but lowering your backlight level to 30% will help increase battery level significantly.

I'll have to try that.. Also keep in mind that the Wizard battery is brand new. I just got it a few days ago, whereas my Apache battery's been in use for almost a year now..

I wonder how much of a difference I would see with a new battery.

i have my backlight at 10% all the time.

because it dosent need to be any higher... lol everything between 10% and 80% looks almost the same to me...

Have my screen at 30% and I also have wifi at low battery use. It still dies too fast.

The wizard has a different processor.. it's (arguably) slower, but more effecient.

If I unplug my Apache, within 20 minutes it's already at 80%.. I am running the HTC Home plugin, Live messenger and the HTC BT Quicklink today plugin..

I have those exact same plugins running on the wizard, live msgr connected and it lasts all day and into a second..

If I do this with my Apache, it wont last 4-5 hours.. Is this because the Apache is using EVDO vs the EDGE network? requires more battery power? And also the fact that the Apache is 416mhz vs the Wizard's 195mhz?

I'm just trying to find the huge difference in battery life..I dont understand it. The battery in the Wizard is only 100 more mAH than my stock Apache battery..

Yah I noticed it says the System bus on the Wizard is 16bits vs the Apache's 32bit..
