Default battery life on this sucker!

Please Login to Remove!

Hey does anyone know the actual time usage on this bad boy? I'm deciding between BOLD & STORM. Lighting up the huge screen might kill the battery a lot faster, right?
I mean, I have my curve still... I sent/received 150 mails/sms' and about an hour of calls, listened to about an hour and a half of music and I'm at 35% battery. I don't think the STORM will last that long. but can anyone shed some light?

Thx

Yes, those are the statistics, but not calling and not leaving it in standby is also very important. I know it depends if you're listening to music or watching a movie or just chatting/writing emails. That number also is important. I mean, the iphone in standby mode lasts a while, but if you're writing emails all day ... well, my BF has an iphone 3g with 3g off to save battery, and he gets ... emm... 1/2 a day. shame... That's why i'm interested in the STORMS number.

Verizons Rev A doesn't eat up as much of the battery life as AT&T's 3G. Battery life on the Storm is much better than that of the Bold. It's more comparable to the Curve.

I don't know about that. And since the device isn't out yet, it would be presumptuous to state that.
