Hi everyone...I see the battery issue thread is closed, I will keep posting my updates for those of you who have not bought the phone and have serious issues about this. If I had any self control I would have done the same!
Today I turned it on at 7:30 and at 5:30 I had 40% left. My bolt had a busy day...constant push of my exchange e-mails (lets just say I get ALOT of email)...face book updates, surfed the net for about 25 minutes, lots of phone calls (I would say 10 in the 5 minute variety, and a call to my mom that lasted 31 minutes (haven't talked to her in like 3 weeks). maybe 4 or 5 texts...I am always turning it on and looking at it. I was really happy with the battery. Will it need charged during the day? I am going to say yes, that I will get in that habit of doing that because I am one of those people that like to not worry about it. But I did not charge it today so I could see what it was like. Live and work in 4g but it does toggle back and forth in and out of buildings to 3G. So far I am not concerned about the battery...my fears about what people have been saying are not true...at least for me so far! Hope this helps you. It is not as good as my storm was in its hey day....but so far day 2 has been great....
