So apparently the gingerbread update is set to launch at the end of the month. Personally with all the delays with this phone, I'll believe it when I see it. So I've read up on the update and it seems like Skype is coming, enhanced GPS, reboot issue fix, etc... The only problem is that I haven't seen anything in regards to possible improvements to battery life? Is it possible for gingerbread to improve battery life or am I just too hopeful?

Too hopeful. Huge screen, 1st gen LTE radio, small battery... It is what it is.
The only way I have found to make it through a whole day is to use setcpu to underclock when the screen is locked and to use greenpower to keep the 4g/wireless radios in check.

Unfortunately, battery life will only be addressed with the release of the HTC Thunderbolt 2

+1 yup, with a new LTE radio lol. I'm still just planning on using it as a 3G phone. It's fast enough

For me the biggest issue is the reboots. Battery life I've got figured out and am satisfied with. Fix the reboots and Im camping happy again.
