Do I miss the Android? Heck yes. But I do get a good 24 hours of battery life out of my new toy. :)

HOW????????? I have a Droid Incredible. I have classes from 9am-9pm and leave the house at 7am. I surf, take pics, listen to music for straight 70 mins (riding train to school). Unless you are in a classroom/place where there is low signal, then yeah...it seems possible to kill the battery that quick.

At the end of the day, my phone has about 8% left right when i get to my car from train station. Using original battery that came w/ the phone, stock.

To you set min/max in CPU settings? I have my brightness a level up from the lowest setting when using the notification bar to set brightness (from left to right).

I'm in Amish Country, Ohio - the signal is always low.

Yes I messed with the min/max settings, brightness was all the way low (0%), and I ran Cyanogen.

Ah, I see. I guess there isnt a mod for increasing signal on cell phones.....yet.

I would have still helped you achieve max battery life though

My EVO only lasts half a day or a little more if I don't use the camera. But I carry an extra battery now and a charger. So that's one way to get around it. Not ideal, I know

I used to have 3 extra batteries with me; one at home, one in my car, one at work.

Trust me, I tried and tried and tried. I bought UltimateJuice (JuiceDefender). Ran through about 5 or 6 different ROM's. SetCPU down to slowwww. 0% brightness. WiFi off. Even turned the data/3G off.

Oh, I didn't charge my phone last night after a full day of use on my iPhone.. so about 36 hours now.. I'm at 85%..

And I read that the new iPhone's have worse battery life then the iPhone 4, hence the reason I went with the older model.

PS. I'm online right now as we speak ordering spare batteries and a charger on Amazon! My phone is basically tethered to the wall all day at work .

Although Apple batteries are indeed known for there quality, they are boosted by iPhone's small screen and no 4G.

We're not supposed to have 4G here until 2015, so no worries there for me.

But yes - the smaller screen does suck at times!

I'll always be an Android lover, but for what I do with a phone - sadly the iPhone was the way to go... I'll still creep on your thread here though. :)

Anytime!

To be honest with you, I did go look at the iPhone 4s when it came out b/c dual networks and a really good camera are 2 very important things for me. I wish Google and HTC would come out a hybrid phone that works on BOTH CDMA and GSM.
