Have a Rez, but the anemic battery life and not being able to see the screen outdoors has had me ready to switch for a bit now, just haven't seen anything worth jumping to. So some honest opinions please.

Can you see the screen outdoors well enough to geo cache during the day ?

Battery life, I'm a fairly heavy user, plan on carrying a spare battery anyway, but can I hope for a day without one ?

Is the processor noticeably faster than the round of Verizon phones that had the Razr, Rez, GNex ?

Pocketability, with a screen protector and a thinnish case, can you get it in and out of your pocket while sitting down ?

I see it has a TV remote, is it universal or only for Samsung tvs ?

Thanks

 

Sadly the ability to swap a fresh battery is more important.
Couldn't pass up the costco deal, so i'll give it a go.
With the 2600 mah battery, I can turn the screen full bright outside and see it.
So far, been a nice improvement, cant get the air gestures or eye scroll to work, but they seemed like gimmicks at best anyway.:beerglass:
