My battery life has been great. Much better than the HTC Mogul I had before. I guess it all depends on how heavy you use it and also your the signal in your area. I think Sprint varies a lot based on where you are. Some great, some terrible. That is a huge consideration. I think in Chicagoland Sprint works well. But I drove back and forth from Florida last week and it was not so good in parts of Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
But as for the actual phone itself, aside from the current limited apps library, the phone is second to none. WebOS sets a new standard. And the phone has a great shape and feel. Plus, the phone itself is very comfortable and easy to use. It doesn't feel like your just holding some strange device up to your use. Bluetooth works great too. The keyboard is very much a personal preference thing. I like it but then again I type with one finger. If you go double-thumbed and have large thumbs it could be a challenge for sure.
There really is no single best phone for everyone, but this one is right up there and is going to be the best for a lot of people.
