Anyone played with a HD7 yet (or any Win7 phone, for that matter)? I'm probably looking at a Desire HD, but the HD7 has me tempted as well. Pity I have to order both in =/

The only gripe he had so far is the lack of apps from the market place. But he has been raving about it - and I was equally as impressed (currently on HTC Hero on Android 2.2 for reference) |

I dunno, I've got an ipod with 4.01 and it runs alright - it does everything pretty well apart from the 'phone' bit so I guess I'm easily impressed. I wouldn't mind a Windows phone, but I guess its a bit of a gamble. I can see W7 becoming more prevalent in the workplace (one of our clients has completely rejected using Android, but has looked at the use of iphones in the workplace!) |

Jailbroke my IP4 using Limerain, which was a pretty painless task. Right after doing that, I went and tried out Intelliscreen, which I find very useful. I'm also very impressed with the new Tomtom app.

Get an iPhone... Or a old-skool Symbian phone
I get 5 days standby on my POS Sony Ericsson W950i / 2 days with heavy use. It has a touch-screen, Opera, works with Google Apps, what else do you want?

Theres alot of options and devices that have similar if not better battery life... thats without mentioning the custom roms. Turning every cunt GPS pul/push google service on ... is a good way to fail miserably at any phone. Before you battery goes completely flat Rocket what does the battery widget/usage meter show as the heaviest user?

heh look i know all the tricks, shit i did a 20 ways to increase your battery life blog post in link below. trust me the battery SUX arse. im over it.
i get on bus, fully charged. browse, play a game for 10 minutes, chuck phone in pocket. get to work. phone on desk, few txts check facebook about 10 times, 1pm battery dead. weak. thats with every feature that makes the phone what it is, turned off. where is the point in that? christ just to check google maps when im out and about its like firing up the space shuttle, turning on gps, data, screen brightness. lol. i love the phone, but battery is pretty fundamental. it needs to last a full day of my lifestyle or its usless to me, it doesnt get to sleep till i sleep. i dont want to have to fuck about planning my day around being contactable and having 1 hour to charge my stupid phone.

Seriously Rocket?
Jesus, I do that and more and my Desires battery survives 24 hours to be plugged in at work with ~40% remaining. Only thing I have off is Blue tooth as I don't use it. Brightness on auto, Wifi, GPS and 3G all on all the time. Wifi at work and home, rest of the time 3G. Background sync on all the time. Sounds like something is fucked imo. Be it battery or battery raping App. |

Rocket just wants good battery life; He doesn't want to need to specifically manage applications - even if he is playing 3D intensive gaming while streaming video to the HDMI out and having push-updates from 50 services running (etc, etc, etc). A very stereotypical consumer complaint.

This page was surprisingly informative until the last few posts. Can't we all get along?
(cue coke ad music) P.S. battery saver tip: use black themes with OLED screens, they use much less juice.

Like for like .. apples for apples ... assuming user hasn't noobed it up .. they are comparible .. if not identical in battery longevity, which is what the above data details... Turning on every feature under the sun (as you do when you get a new phone, most however probably turn them off shortly after) then expecting it to have the same battery life as a phone that simply doesn't have ANY of the options or functionality ... then expecting the same battery life is neigh on stupid .. and didn't really need clarification. This is why they include "your mileage may vary".....
