I know he made a typo.....but is it 3630 or 3640.....

1500 mah???? Really thats the best they could do?

 

[jroc]

But this is good. Now we can see which current phones have the best battery life by having it ship with a battery already in use.

Inc., EVO or X. Even tho the EVO and X have a bigger screen, I would probably compare those 2 for battery life.

^ uh oh....let the Froyo madness begin....ooohhh pete and cyanogen.....

Damn charge for wifi hotspot, july 15th and the early upgrade thing is great for alot of people but just sucks that it will be that many more people getting this phone...really hope they have a large supply ready.

edit: and really gay that 20 bucks only gets you 2gb of tethering

 

[Shadez]

$20 for 2 gig of data.. $ .05 a megabyte overage..

 

[Erron]

So now the question is...since I am the primary on my family plan I can get a yearly upgrade, right? Sooo since I got my droid nov6th..i should be able to get this at a discount?

 

[PorcPuffer]
