Hey, I am a Sprint user and for as long as I have had a phone, all of sprint's sucked. On October 14th, the iPhone 4s is coming out. I had just gotten my HTC Evo 4g, I like the big screen, I like the applications, the kick stand and the amazing 8 megapixel camera. The only thing I HATE about the Evo is the battery, it lasts for so little time, if I play games, it lasts shorter. For anyone who might be reading this who has the iPhone, please let me know if the battery lasts a long time. I am going to Vienna, Austria for 11 days in March, so I would have had my Evo for 6 months by then. My dad was ready for an upgrade and I wasn't when I wanted the Evo, so I took his. By March, I would be ready for my upgrade meaning the iPhone should be able 150$ maybe. I love me Evo and I think part of the reason I want the iPhone is for me to be able to say I have it, even though the Evo is iPhone's toughest competitor, I hear that iPhone sales have even dropped because everyone has switched to HTC. But, I also just really want the iPhone so my phone won't die half way through the day when I am in Austria because I know I will be snapping pictures left and right and I don't know if my Evo battery will be able to withstand that kind of use. I also figure by the time March comes, people that want the iPhone will already have it so Sprint will have it in stock by then and I won't have to be put on back order or anything. So, I love me Evo but I feel the iPhone will better suit my needs in Austria and everything that I have read about the iPhone 4S seems incredible. What do you think I should do? If anyone has the iPhone please tell me about the battery, if you've experienced any problems with it, if it's terrible, please be honest! Anybody who has the Evo, tell me if I should keep it or if I should switch.

Apple is known for their battery life, though not many products (aside from actual cameras) are made to withstand constant use. If you're taking pictures constantly for five, six hours - yeah, it's going to need to be charged. [ TuscanSun's advice column | Ask TuscanSun A Question ]
