Battery Life

I have had this phone for about 6 weeks now, branded as HTC and using it on the O2 network. Absolutely fantastic phone

Positives

• GPS is way better than the N95

• General ease of use is great

• Camera is good for a phone

(Too those griping it’s only 3MP - IT IS A PHONE FFS NOT a camera!)

• Syncs with 04 BMW 5 Series (FULL sync, inc contacts. Out the box)

• WAY WAY better than my iPhone, which is slow to use, slow to download anything more than a web pages and utterly useless for anything other than a SHOW toy! It is GPRS argh!!

Negatives

• Battery Life SUX

(On average I have to charge every night or wake up to a flat battery)

• Contacts do not merge well when you log into MSN Messenger

• Bluetooth headsets are quiet, whether a headset or BMW Bluetooth kit

• It is a true Microsoft OS (still have to reboot occasionally)

On a general note, this is the best smart phone there is on the market today, it really doesn’t need better resolution, photo and video performance are really good and you don’t notice the degradation.
