I posted screenshots of my battery life in the 4Glte article yesterday and that was with the stock 1700mAh battery! Are you kidding me!? 4.5 hrs of screen time! This thing has NFC, connects to my car and truck seamlessly with Bluetooth, has great radios and camera (as usual), has great call quality and speaker, great slim form factor and option to add a 2150 mAh battery that doesn’t make it a brick…now how is that an “embarrassment”? Especially since later this year we’ll most likely have a version on VZW that will give a bigger form factor, higher specs and screen quality. People complained “too many phones!” and now that HTC is sticking to its word, people cry that it should’ve been this or that.
