Is that for real? If so it's pretty nerdy and pretty cool.
Nerdy? Perhaps. I'm desensitized to nerdiness thanks to looking through all the amazingly cool stuff on thinkgeek.
Plus if you think that's nerdy, check out Scottevest. Yes, I ordered some clothes from there >_> ... Unfortunately, I did not get the underwear yet. It was out of stock for my size when I was ordering.

I think it's star trek reference.
All I want is the Bolt to last a whole 13/14 hour day with light/medium usage, then I can throw it on the charger overnight.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I've only had experience with Verizon 3G phones. Will it be possible with the Thunderbolt to only shut off the LTE antenna but keep the 3G antenna on?
This would be helpful for me as I don't live in an LTE area, and from what I've read the 4G antennas can really drain the battery.
Please understand I didn't mean that in a bad way.
Of course
That was just me geeking out over my new toys (well, clothes)
Seidio has 1600mah extend batter that does not require a new battery door. Those I can not say how much more you'll get out the phone with battery in it. 1400 to 1600 doesn't seem like a big jump but I don't no anything about batteries. I hoping when phone comes out theirs a good review with battery in place. Anyone else shed some light please do.

I was looking at that one last night. I may get it. I'd even get a bigger battery that requires a new door.
For what it's worth, I'm using an Incredible now. I'm rooted and debloated. Most days I have trouble getting through a work day. This isn't necessarily the phone's fault, as I work in a brick and metal building and get very little signal. This weekend I got 1 day and 19hrs on a single charge. I made some phone calls, quite a few texts, and even did some reading on Pulse and played a few games of Papi jump. The key was that I had good signal all weekend long. Aside from web browsing and navigation, the screen would be the next big battery hog. Signal is the one that gets overlooked the most though. I find that I can routinely go a full day on a charge if I'm in a good signal area, and that's WITH web browsing, calls, Bluetooth and texting.

Chrisy,
Buy one of these.
I have it for when I know I won't be around a charger.
Helps when I am spending a day on a football field, etc.

Worth every penny!

I plan to root the phone put cm7 when it's available.First reason it will be fun. Second reason to get more out battery life with the extra features I seen with the custom rom. I am even toying with idea of under-clocking the phone to 800mhz because fact of the performance of G2. Those we never know the TBOLT has a new processor that could surprise us all.(Those I will post if this is over kill or not but then again I plan to use my phone as my mp3 player for work. I listen to music 4 to 8 hours now stop)

I read dilithium crystals and started laughing so hard I woke my wife up!
I cant remember if it was in Star Trek but I am pretty sure it was in the movie Galaxy Quest (star trek parody) it was the power source for their ship.
YES, I am nerdy
**edit**
My bad, Galaxy Quest was beryllium sphere

I don't think you need to worry that much - my battery will easily make it a full day if I keep the usage light. It is possible to kill the battery in 4-5 hours, but this usually involves being in a low/no signal area, running poorly-written widgets that update too often, or playing high-end video games constantly. Even calls, texts, and a little web surfing shouldn't be that bad.
The one real unknown is the 4G LTE radio, though. Nobody's used a LTE radio in a phone yet AFAIK, so we don't know how it will affect the battery life. It could be a battery hog from being relatively untested baseband chips, or it might actually be better because the 700MHz signal gives better signal strength or the higher data rates mean less time transmitting or something. In any case, there will probably be an option to turn off the LTE radio if it turns out to be a battery hog and you need the extra life more than the extra internet speed.
If you're really hard-up for battery life, you can turn also off mobile data entirely so the phone only gets phone calls and texts, and that should be about as good as it gets. I've never actually went a long time with mobile data off, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 2 days out of it like that.
