Yea...they seem to be ruining every Android site lately. The funny thing is all the other people complaining about the Nexus and the problems they're having with it. Some of them with enough problems to return it for a different phone. I miss the good old days before smart phones when they actually worked as...you know...phones first. No one got on message boards to put anyone else down to make their own purchase feel justified. I enjoy my D3 because I can see it out in plain sunlight (a big plus living on a farm), I have a physical keyboard I can feel, and my battery generally will last well over a full day of hard use.

i wish my droid 2 global would last 5 hours of gps and 3 web lookups... i dont get this phone it takes for ever to load pages droid life can take a few min. and it kills 10 percent of the battery... i am hoping with the 4g speed and dual core maybe it will be a bit better... the processors tend to use less power and the radio wont need to operate as long to down load the page which means i wont keep the screen on as long. Who knows it could get worst...even though this thing does not have a removable battery i dont worry i am always in my car and my phone can get charged all the time. plus i m sure someone will make a bigger battery or they will make a case that is a battery for clipping on for extended usage if needed..... hey question for you guys... does anyone make a battery brick that charges usb devices... it might be a very usefull thing for travel i could leave it in my bag and just charge as needed when i travel

I'm definitely sure that with the D4 being LTE, the battery life will be even worse. That's probably the only thing that will keep me from upgrading my D3 to that. LTE is much less important than battery life to me. LTE doesn't help me send/receive texts or calls any faster, so it isn't that big of a deal. It doesn't matter how fast your data connection is...it's no good at all when your phone is dead

I don't have something that charges USB devices, but I bought a recharger that can plug into a USB and then charge my phone if needed. Got this when the battery suggested for D1 users here in the forum didn't work.

i was actually thinking about screen power.... the screen uses a ton of power generally it is my biggest power drain....when i look how my battery is spent... many times it is because the stupid thing is taking ten years to lookup a webpage... my line of thought was if it does it quick thats less time i use the screen. i am a little dipleased about non removable battery but all my friends have iphones and they last forever... i heard at his something to do with the battery and the casing. my wifes iphone 4s last forever granted its 3g but it destroys my droid 2 global in battery life i would have to use to batteries to get what she does.
i wish there was something like a highoutput laptop battery device that i could plug my droid into when needed..... that could be hp's(or any other company) next thing .... carry a spare battery that you snap into a thin mount and charge any usb devices.... imagine the mass appeal ....carry a second battery and use it for more then just your laptop....
That's definitely not for me. I like having a compact, portable, single device that runs all day on its own. I don't want to have to carry extra things 'just in case.'

oh i understand that i meant more for travel things like that. i have high capacity laptop batteries and it would be nice to power the families devices on the airplane with this. i wasnt thinking for a daily driver although i always have my laptop with me its part of my job so for me it would work fine. i did look around and found a few "power blocks" that are not much bigger then a spare battery if needed so that would be a nice option to carry
now that i think about it and i dont have the cable to check it. i have the spare battery charger for the og droid...i wonder if i got a min usb to mini usb if i could reverse the connection and cause it to charge devices rather then charge batteries... that would be awesome. i have 4 or 5 batteries, but honestly i never swap i just put it on the car charger.
