What is the actual battery life? (I’m talking about generally heavy PHONE usage (few hours a day), and up to 1-2 h internet browsing via wifi/gprs) because I’m seriously considering buying this.
I took my Desire HD off the charger at 6pm, and by 10:30 the phone turned itself off, completely dead. This was despite having the display brightness turned almost all the way down . I made a few short phone calls and looked at my email for a bit, but for the most part I wasn’t using it. I’m (fairly) sure it will get better because that’s just ridiculous, but from my experience and what I’ve heard from others it’s definitely not as good as the iPhone.
I wouldn’t describe this as a deal breaker, but if battery life is a big concern for you and you don’t want to carry an external battery or second battery I’d think twice. Or buy a Desire. It has a smaller screen and bigger battery
