What would you do? Wait to purchase the reported Verizon IPhone, or get the Motorola Droid X smartphone now? I am leaning toward the Droid X now.....

Wow. So much anger and sensitivity here. Taking things personally are you? Forgive me for trying to be helpful. Oh, and this is just based on observation amongst myself and a few coworkers with the original Droid. We had battery issues initially, but then once using that program we were able to close programs that continued running in the background even when not in use. And even once closed sometimes they'd reopen somehow. Quite annoying, but the battery life seemed to improve significantly once these were better managed. Placebo or not, it seems to have helped. Either way, you can get off your high horse dude. If someone wants to try something, then let them. Don't get upset about someone trying to help fix a problem.

Turning the GPS off really helps with battery life too, fyi.
quote:
Only very minimally. GPS doesn't run nonstop in the background, it only runs when a program (such as nav) requests it. Some location based programs may randomly run GPS quickly during the day, but that won't account for any great battery loss.
