HTC Thunderbolt Battery Life?

Looking at getting a HTC Thunderbolt this weekend, but heard the battery life is terrible. If you have the phone, please respond with how long the phone lasts. I want to use it all day, every day, and will charge it every night. I don't stream a lot of stuff, just check my Facebook and email several times a day. Will I kill my phone in 5 hours? 8 hours? Thanks!

    Totally depends on how hard you use it, and what your doing while you use it. There are lots of settings that also effect the drain. Personally I would average 6 hours tops. On the stock ROM. Lots off texting and browsing, and the occasional game. After rooting and loading a custom ROM I gained approximately 2 hours. The number 1 best way to increase your uptime is to grab yourself a battery for the rezound! It fits and I get over 10 hours consistently. On a light use day I'll have enough battery left I won't even plug in when I go to bed. I can't say how much it will increase the life on stockROM, I haven't been stock in months.

    I have owned TB for over a year. Battery life has not been an issue. There are many posts on how to maximize battery life. I use the phone similiar to you. I charge every night and usually have 40% or more of life. The TB has been great, outside of a MMS issue resolved in the last update - no FC's, random reboots, or other problems. It is as fast as dual core phones, especially on Vzw 4G network. Always connects to available wifi. Highly recommend.
