I owned 2 for about a week. Super WOW factor. And, during that time I downloaded a ton of free apps which were really neat and a lot of fun. But in the end, I confirmed that the battery life sucks. I mean - really sucks. A couple of hours just goofing off with the thing ran the battery down, and yes, I did condition it like the book said to, so the capacity just isn't what it should be.
In the end the real reason I took them back was that the phone just wasn't as easy to use as a phone should be. Too much other stuff and not enough phone. HOWEVER, if someone had sent this message to me before I got them, I would just disregard it. SO. What I recommend is that you get a free trial (Verizon offers 30 days with a no-questions-asked return policy). Then, make up your own mind.
