Thats pretty amazing. I have gottten 3-4 days out of extremely casual use too.

If your phone actually deep sleeps, you may be able to get 5-7 days out of the battery.

I used the hell out of mine at the Buckeye game on Saturday. I took lots of pics and videos. Over and over and the battery held up great. I even used watchESPN some during halftime. Great phone with a great battery.

Have you tried the selective focus feature on the camera?
It's pretty cool.

You can change the focus after you've taken the shot too.

Haven't done much with music yet. That's in my todo list.

At the moment I'm pushing the battery just for shits and giggles. I haven't charged since Monday at 7am, and I'm still at 17%! Probably only 25 minutes of calls, 50 texts, 100 sent emails, and another 100 read, DRC, web, memos and a bunch of appointments. Light use, but damn. Power drain will be soon. A few hours of Slacker and a few hours of SXM. I'll see how that goes.

I still have 28% battery right now after 39 hours and 32 minutes off charger (Since Early Saturday Morning).

I have played DroidHen Texas Hold 'em Poker (battery drainer) for about 45 minutes straight, sent many texts, checked facebook, twitter, and other apps over and over again and took a 30 minute call last night. No streaming Sirius/Slacker, but I did listen to my library last night while driving around for 45 minutes.

All of this with 4 hours and 7 minutes of total screen on time.

Yep Samsung and Motorola have their shit together when it comes to battery life. Instead of always trying to make their phones paper thin they put bigger batteries in. Then they optomise it.

If I can get 2 or 3 days from average to moderate use, I'm a happy camper.
If I can get a full day from heavy use I'm a happy camper.
Right now, I'm ecstatic.

I still haven't had a chance to stream music off of it yet, but after last week, I'm sure I'll be satisfied.

I woke up with 21% battery this morning. I used the Sirius|XM app for about 2 hours, and got down to 15%.

I was listening to the Skrillex Interview on THSS when I finally plugged in at about 10% left.

I didnt want to make it to Robins News and have the phone die in the middle of it, so I wimped out.

All in all, I got 50 hours out of one charge and still had 10% left. Probably 5+ hours of screen time in total.
