Hi guys,

Contemplating getting an SII on my upgrade.

Only worry is battery life on Android. I used to have an HTC Hero and Desire and both were atrocious in terms of battery life.

My usage:
- Charge phone in the evening (20:00)
- Phone is next to me at night, I use it as an alarm
- Wake up at 06:00
- Use phone during the day to receive about 15 emails on push, 2-3 mentions on Twitter, 1-2 FB notifications, 4-5 SMSs, 15-20 WhatsApp messages, 2-3 phone calls of about 2-5 minutes each, browsing for 15 minutes or so, add/check 4-5 calendar entires.
- Bluetooth, GPS/Location, Mobile data always on

Currently have an iPhone 4. With this usage I'm still on 30-50% battery when I get home at 18:00

With Desire and Hero phone phone would be dead or on 10%

Would the Galaxy SII work for me with these usage patterns?

Thanks in advance!
 
My galaxy note is fantastic. Lasts me two or three days playing games, spamming whatsapp, 20 odd emails a day.

Easy.

If you're a bit paranoid, you can purchase the official Samsung 2000mAh extended battery from www.expansys.co.za . :)
