Fail

Wait, you just found out about this phone today?

I almost never talk on the phone. As in -- days at a time will go by without me placing or receiving a call. But I surf a lot, I'm digging Flipboard, and I stream movies on Netflix. I think only once in 11 days have I HAD to plug in for a boost-up before bedtime when I plug it in anyway. Now and then, I play media to force the battery nearly empty. MUCH better than my Nexus S and my original EVO.
 
you can still do a hard reset that mimics a battery pull right? plus if you need a new battery you can just bring it to sprint and they will do it for you. it really isnt something that i even think about.

Says who??
 
I usually have to charge at end of day. 16-18 hrs sometimes longer. 3 g bites in my workplace so I Manage my battery by turning off 3 g while working and web browse during breaks and lunch. I take alot of pictures' although I keep very few of them. Trying to get best settings for my taste. I can honestly say you won't worry about battery life but you may have to use common sense to manage it. Even if I didn't turn off 3g battery would still have juice.
 
Battery not removable. What a blunder in an otherwise oustanding device.

I thought the same thing when they first announced the new Evo. I've had the original Evo for two years before I got the new one. I thought it was a collosal design mistake to not have a removable battery for two reasons: 1) how do you reset your phone when it locks up? 2) I'll lose the ability to put an extra battery in my pocket for hot swapping on heavy use days.

I had two batteries for my old Evo from the very first day I got it, and I realized that not once have I ever used the other battery. I dont even know where it is anymore, it was obviously not important to me at all. And I can reset the phone with a button press combination without having to take it apart to remove the battery.

It was really a mind opening experience once I asked myself how many times I swapped batteries, I realized my bias.

Non issue for me.
 
I wouldn't be able to find a hand large enough to face palm right now...Wow

People who think the battery is a problem are the users who skipped the 3D which had double the battery life of the OG Evo, and now the LTE is easily 50% better then the 3D. Once you have it you will understand the benefit of the dual core processor, and the lack of separate wimax radio.

The associated problem are the dim-wits who still think the Evo 3D was "not a real upgrade" from the Evo OG. The Evo 3D was more advanced than the Evo OG the same amount as the Evo LTE is over the Evo 3D.
