    Just got one yesterday and it appears my battery life is garbage. Straight out of the box with a couple games downloaded and google chrome. When i play a game, it uses 1% battery for every 2 mnutes of playing time. I charged my phone through usb andnit charged from 2% to 30% in 3 hrs. So im assuming it takes 9 hours to fully charge from 0-100%?

    So i go to bed at 3am with 30% battery life. My alarm rings at 9am and to my surprise, its down to 6%. wtttttfff????

    Can someome please explain this to me?
    I've got a problem with mine not receiving the charger correctly, coming in and out of its seat. If I don't make sure it's stuck in just the right way when I go to bed, it's no battery the next day for me!

    I also find the battery life to be extremely inconsistent. I've gone days at work where I'll come home at 5:30 with ~80% battery left, and days where it'll beep low battery by 2:00! I think it's heavily dependent on which apps you have open. From my experience, leaving the camera app in the task manager increases battery usage by 500% (literally, and that's a conservative figure!)
    I think including a (great) task manager was an out for poor management of running but not active apps.

    Hmmm. I have had great battery life. I added that juicedefender app on Monday and it got even better. Yesterday it was unplugged at 6 am and I didn't get back home till 11:30 pm, it was just beeping low battery at that point but still functioning. I'd say there was a minimum hour of talk time and lots of browsing/email/text.

    I was using CM9 with KT747 kernal with some good success. I am reflashing stock w/ root today to play with it again to compare as I found nova launcher which fixes some of the annoyances i had with TW.

    I got a cheap one from monoprice.

    doesn't have a screen protector but for 4 bux you can't go wrong.

    Delivery was about 5-7 business days by mail.

    Bell Mobility stores have some Casemates available for $20.00. Quite a few styles to choose from.

    Got one today. Upgraded from iPhone 4 (not the 4s). Seems decent so far.

    A little wide for my hands which I don't quite like yet. Will take time to get used to probably.

    Definitely need to customize it. Strange interface vs. iOS in parts.

    So far so good.
