when Sharp announced the new 1080p 5-inch LCD panel, they claimed that it would reduce power consumption. So it’s understandable HTC went for the 2020mAh on this phone. Obviously, it’s probably not going to do as well for real usage in battery usage. Some mixed reception. Some reviewers say 6 hours others say 4 hours, yet some even claim 10 hours (as the HTC reps claimed at the event). I would think it may have similar battery life to the HTC One X (which isn’t that great, but consider that this phone is 1080p and has a newer quad core compared to the Tegra 3).

I am not saying it only lasts 5 hours. I am saying it dies after I have either screen time or phone time of 5 hours. When I am traveling, my phone is on all the time.

What’s wrong with listing the full price with the subsidized price for the thousands with unlimited data and will have to pay full price for our phones for now on?

DNA $599 full price for unlimited users

No Rom, I have my work email on my phone. But I get about 5 hours of use between screen and talk, which when I am traveling is about the day. Most days I am fine, but irritated if it doesn’t last. 2020 won’t do.

It’s the new Thunderbolt, an otherwise great device that is given a totally crippling battery.

What ROM are you using that the 2750mAh battery isn’t last long enough? I am running the leaked ICS ROM and the battery life is horrible but it still lasts me most of the day, with the Thunderstick Full Blown Sense ROM I was using prior, id still have 40% at the end of the day.

They are all chasing the “thin phone” award which to me is the stupidest thing to do. I owned an iP5 and it was a worthless POS, easy dropped, easy damaged, and thin is not the best thing when it item costs $650-850 and you break it your screwed.

The battery has to be able to handle the constant 3G to 4G to 3G to 4G, repeat, repeat, repeat where it just chews the battery up. This has been a problem with LTE on previous Verizon phones and certainly not being swappable is an issue for me. I will happily carry a spare in my bag.

That is a big reason for me to get the GN2, I want external storage to carry my music, podcasts and ditch my last iDevice . . . my iPod. I want only Android mobile devices with me.

Thunderbolt = HTC = craptastic device . . . SO . . . Droid DNA = HTC = Not being a sucker again!

Yeah the N10 sales were a joke. Either Google under planned or they are simply stupid. Nexus is no longer a developer brand, its a hardware enthusiasts brand and we want the latest and guaranteed greatest (OS updates).

I could have ordered mine today, but I am holding off until I hear more real world users and its in stock at a store for me to test out.

So Verizon can get this phone pre-ordered and out the door in a week but they take a month to pre-order and ship the Galaxy Note 2. Are they expecting more GN2 sales or less? Are they simply pushing the “Droid” crap first. Sense for me has been the worst UI next to LG’s and I am not getting this sucker. I’m getting the GN2, I want external storage for music, movies and whatever else I want on it.
