Battery life

[mrmet044]

everyones battery life seems to be good now for the time being. but what about a year from now or even two years. since sprint did away with gold we must wait two years before being eligible for an upgrade. since you cant replace the battery is anyone concerned about that possibility. my evo shift is just over one year old and the battery life which was great is absolutely horrible now. i need to walk around with a charger everywhere.

there's a teardown video of the ELTE out there & it looks pretty easy to replace the battery.

re: upgrade.....someone posted at xda a few weeks ago about being eligible for upgrade on 6/2013 after buying the ELTE....I've check a couple times since then and lucky for me it says I'm eligible on 5/1/13

You can still change the Evo LTE battery in less than 5 minutes.
