Just picked up my tbolt today and..

[Martin23kings]

wow what a great device looks alot nicer in person.. also wanted to say i was kinda hesitant to get it because i was hearing so many complaints from people about the phone i just got mine and the build is great LED looks fine no loose parts no bad screen. it does have those 2 very small light leaks on the bottom but that does not bother me at all and i really think people just make a big deal over stuff when its really not anyway i love my phone already i just wanted to let you guys know

I also picked mine up today.. it's incredible!

wait until you have to plug it in every 4hrs then let us know lol

That whole "plug it in every 4 hours" crap is bunk. I can go 18 hours or so before i have to plug in my phone to charge.

 

[bthomp21]

the reason there are so many complaints is because the people do not research and try to fix the problems manually. they expect the phone to be flawless at launch. check every post on forums for phones on launch day/week, NONE of them are perfect.

It's a new toy, no way any of us got close to 18 hours on it when we first got our Bolts. Even with all the settings adjustments posted they'll be lucky to get 6 or 7 hours at the rate they'll play with it.

it dies after 5hrs with everything off but the screen what else could be done lol So add 4g now and you get 3hrs turn your screen from 20% to 50% now we get 2 1/2

dude, i honestly get over 10 hours on a charge. It may be as simple as a bad battery. Take it to verizon and get a new one to eliminate that.

A buddy of mine is getting better battery life with the Tbolt than both my OG Droid, and his old Incredible did.

People just need to learn how to conserve power.. running **** in the background, and running the screen on full brightness with widgets constantly updating is obviously going to cut back on battery life.

But from what I've seen, it's all mostly common sense stuff.. you can get pretty decent battery life out of it if you're smart.

how is the speaker?

LOUD.

I too get great battery life (stock battery) about 12 hours on a charge, better than my fascinate ever did (only got about 6 hours) but I live in a 4g area which I think improves the battery life.

i know rightttt...lol but seriously it bothers me -_-
