    Not at all! I'm usually at 85 percent after 8 hours

    Did you have service in the subway? If you're phone is constantly trying to look for a signal, that uses up battery.

    isn't the phone smart enought to be in power save mode? My motorolas and LGs were....
    Should I call up Verizon and get a new battery from them?

    Smart enough for power save mode? The phone is trying to find a signal, thus it uses more power. It can be even worse if you have the GPS enabled. I can tell you that after I upgraded to the .83 OS my battery life drastically improved.

    Your battery should last a little longer than what you are experiencing anyway. No harm trying a replacement battery.

    Also, your under menu > options > mobile network, what's your network technology set to?

    By Default, I believe it's set to Global, when I changed mine to 1XEV, it saved some of my battery charge.

    thanks all. I'm going to the verizon store today.....I may try to get a new Storm. Between having battery problems, camera coming on whenever it wants, and the phone freezing, I think I should get a new one. I've only had it since Sunday night.
