I'm gonna say I'll stand behind moto's decision to give this thing a screen fit for a phone instead of a multimedia device. ie, significantly better battery life and readable in the sunlight. I think too many people are forgetting that when all is said and done, these are still PHONES. People are posting battery stats, and where the display is usually by far the largest percentage of battery drain, in the D3, its the lowest or close to it.
here's a pic of my phone after moderate use.
this is 12 hours and still 50% battery left.
I'll say this is a better phone than most smart phones these days. People are trying to say motorola is losing touch, but I think its more they're remembering what these devices actually are.
Don't get me wrong, its a good screen for consuming media, but I don't think its going to win awards over iphone etc. But when I want to watch movies etc, I'll break out the nook color.
