Heh. love it! I'm bored with the Evo though - now I'm not having to constantly flash/set up my phone in order for it to work properly

I came from a TP2 (with MaxSense) to an EVO and I'm considering going back. I literally watched 10% of my battery life drain in 10 minutes off a fresh full charge. I was only reading an article on engadget. (Yes, I have ATK. Yes, I have everything else turned off)

Android in itself is buggy at best. I've hit the 'Messaging' button and it opens the web browser??? Sometimes, the OS gets stuck in between panels and needs to be reset. I also miss the lack of hardware keys for phone and end call. It needs some SERIOUS power management, but I feel that's a ways off. Even Froyo doesn't address the power concerns. Oh and the speaker when watching movies is also horrible. I turned every single volume control I had up and still could barely hear it.

On a good note, there are PLENTY of apps at my disposal. And Android is VERY polished with plenty of eye-candy. It's unfortunate that you have to carry a second battery around.

Alas, I wish the HD2 was on Sprint. I love the specs of this phone, but it's got some serious 'deal breaker' draw backs that I can't overlook.

So I have to pay 50$ more in hopes of obtaining an acceptable power time?

The stock battery is 1500mAH. That one is listed at 1750mAH. That's only a 16% battery increase in capacity. Assuming that it affects the usage in a linear fashion. That means I'll get an extra 48 minutes onto my average 5 hr charge. Woopty doo.

I had to hit the Thanks for OP. LOL. Good one !! I'm sitting on the front porch with my laptop and still can't put my EVO down.

As far as battery life goes so far I'm not noticing a huge difference between the EVO and my TP2 but I'm not at work on a normal usage pattern. However, I've not put the phone down much and it still doesn't seem to be eating the battery. I don't live in a 4G area tho and wi-fi is turned off. Never used wi-fi on the TP2 either. I'm not missing the clunky TP2 at all other than the kb and I can live without it for my uses. This thing is Faaaaaaaast ! .... like marsupials. But the EVO don't scare me.
