As for standby, without it doing anything I can routinely get 48 hours, and have hit 72 hours a few times. This is, of course, not using the phone or data AT ALL. If I use either of those functions, then battery life spirals downwards (lose about 24+ hours of standby time for every hour on the phone/data)

And yes, it looks absolutely marvelous while it is sitting there not doing anything

The rated talk time is 3 hours

Well according to sprint.com "up to 4 hours of continuous talk time", but I was responding to the person saying "if you used the phone for 3.5 hours, and then 30 min of data, then you've already burned 40% of your battery" comment. I would LOVE if I could use 3.5 horus of talk and 30 min of data and still be at 60%

Anyway... Since MightyROM has the fast USB charging, I'm not worried about the battery life at all.

Does the fast USB charging eliminate the overheating/non-charging problems that we were all having?

Oh damn you are right, I forgot it really is rated at 4 hours. What a freakin' lie. Maybe if you are tethered to a PC over USB, using it's internet connection for skype...

I couldn't even get 2 hours, while plugged in. That's why I gave up on the Pro, and set my sights on the Pre.

I thought I said 2 30min calls and 30 min data == 40%. Not 3.5 hours! That's the actual rated life, not "up to 4 hours" per sprint.

Today as a test I am NOT plugging it in at all during the day (2 30 minute drives would usually just plug it in while it is sitting there in the vent-mount... Off charger 9 hours so far, @ 53% battery. Includes 1 short call, 20 txts, 2 hours BT headset on, normal hourly checks of 2 imap emails, and 30 min or so total surfing. Mogul would be at about 75-80% battery. But then again, the mogul is not sexsay
