That's nice but I'd be very nervous if my phone hit 15% without a return either to home or office in sight. Spending time in a 4G area with GPS on doesn't mean that it's being used actively. Try having 2 business and 2 personal email account going during the day, checking every 5-10 minutes. You'll be challenged with the standard battery, trust me.I spent 9 hours in a 4G area with my GPS & navigation going wide open along with the internet. Today was easily the heaviest use I've ever put my TB through and by the end of it, I only had 15% left and still talked for 45 minutes non stop and had 7% left over. I have no such battery problems. I love the TB! However, the Evo3D is an outstanding phone but I would not leave VZW for it.

I don't know where you are but on the east coast, I've found Sprint's network to be excellent. I've found the VZW network claim to be a lot of hooey that people buy into. It almost always comes into play where it's a matter of (a) GSM v. CDMA and (b) specific parts of the country that are not major urban/economic areas.

I can't speak of the reliability of Sprints network, bit I can speak of the speed. It has been recorded that the 3g VZW network is actually faster than the Sprint 4g! Sprint (and to some extent, at&t) rushed their 4g networks out to be the first networks with 4g. 4g and 3g was originally supposed to have a similar difference that you see in DSL and cable internet. The companies changed it to a definition of "anything faster than 3g". VZW took its time and did it the right way, now the other networks are struggling to keep up. This is also why VZW made sure to advetise the LTE part of 4g, as the other carriers dumbed down the original definition of 4g. Anyways, 4g doesn't have a definition anymore to many people, but LTE definitely does!
