Well, if you play the video backwards...I'm pretty sure you can see that creepy ghost from Three Men and a Baby in the background!

You may or may not have a point. We do not know the status of the charge when it was unplugged from the charger and started on battery.

Looking at the status bar that had at least an 85% charge....likely more if not 100% at the beginning of that 2 hours and 30 minutes. When charging the timer on battery stops. I believe its reset at 100% right? So 2 hour 30 minute started at 100% charge...
every time you plug in the device the clock resets i believe
i have not watched the video, but it's possible that it was plugged in, charged to say 60% and then unplugged

I'm bit worried about battery life with bigger screen. Anyone seen anything that addresses this with the GN?
I can usually get through a full day with light/med usage on my droid x, but worry how the much bigger screen will eat through the battery.
Any thoughts?
No LTE smartphones have stellar battery life not because we should wait for battery tech to improve, it's until LTE chipsets transition to 28nm manufacturing process and become less power hungry. Right now they're made using 45nm technology, and it's not necessarily optimized for handsets or voice, therefore there is always that secondary 1X voice radio chip which further drains the battery.
The good news is Qualcomm, the biggest baseband manufacturer is expected to start production of their 2nd generation LTE chipsets sometimes during Q2 2012 using way more optimized and less power hungry 28nm chips.
The battery technology hasn't progressed for decades, and waiting for battery to improve could be a very long and frustrating time...
Now I don't have the phone so I can't say for sure if ICS is different, but with my Droid X on gingerbread if I'm at 40% and charge for 15 minutes it will show on battery for 0sec immediately when taken off of the charger. The chart itself only starts over when the phone is turned on or reaches 100% charge. If ICS is the same, then the battery chart in no way matches the 2hr 30min time frame. The graph goes up in several points which could only happen if the phone was charged. The last period where the graph went up is actually very small.Just noticed this
Pause at 1:51. The phone is been on the battery for 2 hour 30 minute and the life is at 20 percent. The battery consumption was used by the screen and more importantly standby which does not indicate heavy usage....
Just something I noticed....

Yeah.. I'm thinking stock up on the batteries or have an outlet near haha.
yeah. I work 13 hours a day on a flightline... I don't have access to charge in the middle of the day. We'll just have to wait and see. Call Quality, battery life, and messaging is the key things I need in a phone... and I really would hate to get rid of my BBM :/
Isn't their a similar alternative to bbm on android? I thought I read something awhile back about it.
I think I've stated before, but I am in a similar situation to yours. It's frustrating when concerns about battery life are so many times answered with "Well just have a charger at your desk". Is 18 hours of battery life too much to ask?yeah. I work 13 hours a day on a flightline... I don't have access to charge in the middle of the day. We'll just have to wait and see.
