I had the same phone for T-Mobile and just switched to the Nokia 5300. The horrid battery life is a quirk of Nokia batteries on their latest models... the battery life the first 3-5 days is going to be absolutely shit... but hold it out. It will eventually break in and give you the 2-3 days of charge the average well-used phone gets these days. I got the Nokia 5300 sunday and I've charged it... at least 12 times. Now the battery bar is barely moving as I use it. Wait it out, it definitely gets better.
