Again, I hope you realize the box says 5.2 hours of TALK time, and 6 days of standby time. Really, I do have choices, but for VZW and HTC to collaborate and develop an advanced smartphone with inadequate battery is a shame. Looking at the specs, the Incredible is fantastic. Sadly, the battery life doesn't live up to the claims on the specs. Understandably, no spec sheet ever correlates directly with real world usage. But I HIGHLY doubt anyone could reasonably get 5 hours of talk time (given strong 3G signal, WiFi off, etc.)
Once more, why is it so hard for people to realize this post was intended to address a real issue with Verizon and HTC. This is a public forum, and to ostrisize the problem and accept poor battery life simply allows corporations and developers to cut corners at a greater expense to the public.
If HTC tells me to ***k off, so be it. But I'm not going to sit idly w/o letting them know something's wrong. Who knows? Maybe they'll actually do something about it, and do it quickly. What do we have too lose?
