Hello all-
I've had my AT&T HOX about a week now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. Came from a SGSII (previous iPhone owner) that I bought in Oct 2011 and after 30+ days had buyers remorse (cheap build quality, ridiculously bad battery life, and lower resolution screen were biggest turn offs), so I rooted it. Had CM7 on there for nearly 3 months (nightly builds...shutter) and then MIUI (BUGS, literally caused my modem to receive texts in bursts) Anyway, I came away from the Samsung experience pretty bummed, and not impressed. Finally called AT&T two weeks ago and said I'm ready to cancel my service because the phone was dropping calls at home at an alarming rate, and they offered a new phone W/O costing me a dime, OR signing a new 2 year agreement!! I was stuck between the SGSIII and the HOX, but after my experience with the SGSII I just could go back to that cheap build quality feeling. I chose the HOX but not without some fears for the battery life because alot of the reviews were slamming HTC for the 1800mh battery and no replaceable battery. Well, I can assure you that if you are coming from an SGSII that you will be VERY pleased!
I wanted to post these screenshots of my battery because I never saw these numbers with the SGSII. Keep in mind this is with SYNC on 1 hr intervals, Weather service 1hr intervals, automatic brightness, 1 hour of talk time, multiple texts, emails, and nearly an hour of Amazon MP3 (not cloud, internal storage).

This is what I nearly got with JuiceDefender (extreme settings) on the SGSII! I'm impressed. What is your experience?
I will follow up this weekend with JuiceDefender on, hoping for the 30hr mark!
