OT: Amazon may sell Samsung Charge free this monday

[NHLou]

Its not even about the fact that i cant wait for Bionic anymore, whcih i guess ill do for now. Its the fact that these new dual core phones dont look as enticing as they once did. I mean take a look at the Droid X2. Still have yet to see the benefits of gonig dual core. 2nd generation snap dragon/hummingbird looks real good.

But i want a Charge for 150 as well. No more.

Good points. There is an interesting post on thisismynext that briefly touches upon the current fascination with dual core.

Why do I keep coming back to the Nexus S? | This is my next...

I bought the Charge to go to DisneyWorld and use 4G. It is awesome, BUT....Battery life is abyssmal and it gets HOT!!!! Wait for Motorola. Returned it in 14 days.

I have found that reducing the brightness of the display down to ~20% can make a big difference on battery drain (and it is still plenty bright for indoor use). I can get about 7-8 hours of moderate use on a fully charged battery. I have noticed the phone getting hot on rare occasions, but it is no different from other phones I've used in the past. Of course, I am in the northeast and the ambient outside temp may have made a difference. Not sure though...
