Batt Life and Heat Output??

My big 2 questions I have on this new model is how is the real world battery life with the standard battery? Also does it get hot while in use?

The prior Touch Pro had bad batt life and got very hot while i talked. I went with the Omnia after that. Now deciding to go with Pro 2 or Omnia 2

Does anyone have any battery life feedback!! I read one review and he said it was at 50% by 11am. If this Pro2 doesnt make it throguh the entire day and evening, this would be a deal breaker for me. My Omnia lasts 1.5 to 2 days on a charge and the battery is 10 months old and still going strong. I know VZ promises an extended battery for the Pro2, but woould I really want to go from carrying an already heavy phone to be carrying a brick phone from the early 90's? I may as well just carry a bag-phone.

So anyone with real word battery feedback, please post here.

Of course people are going to have different experiences with battery performance. Going to be some defective ones, going to be people in weak signal areas complaining and powef users that will drain the battery quickly. And of couse any new phone you're going to play with it more so no real life situations in the first couple of weeks. If you are having good performance with your omnia should have good performance with tp2 too. I believe it ships with a 1500 battery which is bigger than normal.

The battery life on my TP2 is actually decent. I use the browser quite a bit, send tons of texts back and forth, use the phone, and have 2 email accounts getting pushed to the phone. By the time I went to bed at midnight last night I still had over half battery life. So the reviewer who said they were at half capacity by 11 am probably isn't closing down all the programs that he/she used. That's the main thing people don't realize about smart phones. You have to properly close all the programs you've been using.

As for the phone getting hot...It doesn't. It runs fine and doesn't even get the slightest bit warm.

Nice.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes I always end all tasks. Especially Opera (a resource hog).

I disagree with your statement about my performance with Omnia being similar toTP2. I tried the original TP last year and battery drained within 6-8 hours.
These are 2 different phones, 2 different processors, etc. Same network. Granted if it were the same phone on 2 different networks that could be difference in batt performance too (ie: GSM vs CDMA).
