The battery life depends a lot on the usage!
If data is activated (with sync) and used to browse internet (high usage) - it lasts about 5-6h
If data is activated, but no real usage (only get the emails, for example)... it can go to 12h
With no data activated (used mostly as a phone)... I can not tell... but quite long (~10% per day) - depending on the amount of calls, of course
With WiFi, but no data... and heavy internet usage.. about 8h
Used as music player - one day, maybe more
If you use the phone as a clock/alarm (during the night), with the screen on (in night mode) - it takes about 5% of battery in 8h.
From what I saw, the battery life is slightly better then the one of the Galaxy S, used under same conditions.

Mehrshad, 21 Jan 2011I am not a fan of any brand and i own both phones htc de... moreLove all these comments from people who can't even type or spell properly, saying things like "I own two phones and the iPhone is just better" - Yeah, right you are either very poorly educated, or a child - yet for some reason you have two smart phones... Just f off and stop the BS, iPhans and Trolls.
I however DO actually own a DHD that I have had for three months now.
It is so much better than my old company 3GS. Battery life was a worry at first - but I've found that by disabling all the stuff I don't use (auto update on applications that I never look at for example) and disabling WiFi (the HSPDA is so fast that my home WiFi isn't any quicker anyway, and my mobile plan gives me 3GB per month which is more than enough for me)
After configuring the phone like this, I easily get 36 hours out of the phone - including at least 2 hours per day talking to people (as it is my main business line too) I don't play a lot of games, but do surf a lot on it (the browser is very, very good) and use it as my main media player when out and about - so I'd say I'm a heavy user.
Bluetooth works quite well, though I've found that I can't access the phonebook from the JVC headunit in my car - everything else works fine, just the phonebook for some reason. Maybe the next update will fix it?
Hope these comments are more useful to people than all the pretenders lies.

It turns to slow boot with the battery removed or battery cover removed? It boots up without a battery like a laptop? I'd buy that in a heartbeat! Use my phone as my main modem nowadays... so to be able to boot without a battery would be a godsend!

The huge screen is a temptation, but the LCD, the audio and video-recording quality simply breaks everything.

's been a week playing my DHD, the phone it self is great but i would say its got some cons, enough not to go for it.....
1. frustrating bty life
2. no front camera
3. heavy weight
4. video quality doesn't say its a HD............definitely the huge money i had to pay wasn't quite justified for such shortcomings. there are better devices in less price.

frustrated of the battery life.. free games or apps in the market place are boring. planning to dispose this phone and get an iphone4 instead.. or wait for the iphone 5 to be released.. or wait and see what the gingerbread update can offer. 6/10 rating for dhd.. hayssss

If it wasn't for the appauling battery life - this phone may have been a contender for the Iphone.

I got a serious problem with the battery cover! After a few times to charge my battery, it becomes very easy to open! Anyone got the same problem?
