HTC thinks it’s okay if you’re battery doesn’t last that long as long as we have thin devices, and to that I say HTC you are crazy. Take that logo and put ‘quietly stupid’ on the bottom. Battery life has always been an issue since the beginning of Android.
We have seen companies like Motorola extend battery life with the RAZR Maxx. That phone can you get you through an entire day with ease. Yet they still kept the device extremely thin, 8.9mm.
Samsung has promised that their flagship devices in 2012 will have all day battery life. If we know Samsung we know their device will still be very thin and plastic like, but they will be able to put long battery life in their device.
So with all that said HTC why are you not reaching out like your competitors have. To say one is more important than the other is crazy as they should both be important. Also if you were going to say which is better at least choose the right one, and go with battery life.
A thin device would be useless if it is dead, so with that HTC please give us better battery life so we can go back to loving you.

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
