I have yet to read anything form pc mag in the last 3 years that was remotely factual. They have been on the if it sales we will say rant. And sold out for money. But so has pc world. We are watching the death of print and life of web, during that process, alot of companies are going to have to get money somehow.

 

I just hope my experience in baltimore is closer to the Engadget review. lol

 

I managed to kill the EVO's battery in three and a half hours of heavy 4G use, including lots of streaming media and hotspot usage (sometimes at the same time.

Let me get this straight, they're streaming media & using the hotspot, and got 3 1/2 hours and they think thats a bad thing? Give me a break what the heck, do they expect it to last all damn day as a hotspot? I barely get 3 1/2 hours of heavy use on my iphone, and thats on 3G WITH NO HOTSPOT!

Some of these review guys are asking way to much out of the battery on this thing hell the Overdrive only lasts 3 hours and it's ONLY job is to be a hotspot, no screen, no O/S, no nothing just wifi. How long do they expect the thing to last? smh

 

o and thats not all... get the hole segment not just a clip... that was a 50% battery they did it

 

honestly, engadget is the only place where i saw positive reviews of the battery. i'm expecting it to drain quickly. i'll either deal with it or buy an extended battery. meh.
