Default Re: How Is The Battery Life?

I came from the Droid Pro on Verizon with the extended battery and the battery on my Bold seems to be slightly better. I was 26 hours in yesterday when I plugged in at 15% and that is with fairly moderate use. I was downloading some new apps and had Endomondo pulling GPS data and listening to music while I was biking for a little over an hour. A couple phone calls and numerous text, email, BBM messages. About 7 of those hours were while it was sitting on my night stand while sleeping. Today I unplugged at 7am and I am down to 70% but it was no used most of the day since I was in school.

While I would like to see a slightly larger battery that still fits with the stock back. Coming from Android it is for sure an improvement, not as great as my Curve 8830 that could go five days or even my 9630 that did three. Better phones come at the cost of battery life plain and simple.
