I got my Eris in Feb of ’10. :(

Still using it too, but running 2.3.5 CM7. Despite it all, I really like HTC and am looking forward to the Vigor too.

It’s not the LTE radio that drains battery, it’s the fact that both radios for LTE and 3G (CDMA) run together at the same time.

Dual core is supposed to conserve battery just by it’s nature of easier processing. However, Android isn’t optimized for dual core just yet, so you might be right, and you might be wrong.

According to some recent research you’ll find that Super AMOLED + screens are supposedly 18% more energy efficient than Pentile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUPER_AMOLED_Plus).

I don’t think the Vigor needs a larger battery, it just needs software that handles it’s hardware properly.

The Bionic is having battery issues because for whatever reason having wifi, or blue-tooth turned on causes a drain on the battery. A couple other software issues are causing the battery to drain as well and they have no answers for the problem.

4G LTE is a problem, but it’s not THE problem. Having the phone search non-stop for 4g LTE if you’re not close to a 4G LTE tower is ridiculous, the software should know this, switch to a 3G tower and stop looking to prevent severe battery drain while not in use.

Again, it’s not the new hardware (dual-core, 4g lte, super amoled + screen ect…) it’s the fact that manufacturers continue to produce terrible software that makes the hardware perform poorly, resulting in huge battery drains.

That’s why you often hear people saying they have incredibly improved battery life when they switch to a different ROM. This was seen with the Thunderbolt in a huge way.

Everyone points to the excessive hardware in these new devices with their small batteries, but I think we’re missing the point, if the hardware was run by properly coded software, then we’ll see improved battery life.

Sure lithium batteries are way behind the other hardware in terms of technology, but it’s mostly the wasteful and poorly coded software causing these huge battery problems.

Is there any reference to HDMI? mirroring?

Let’s not forget the thunderbolt to gingerbread.
