the battery is reasonable. if i am listening to music/watching videos/making alot of calls i need to give it a charge during the day to keep it going. seido is apparently working on an extended battery for it, which is great news. i had their extended battery for both my 7250 and 8703e and i love it. made the phone a bit bulkier, but i could go days without charging under normal use.

the lag seems to be helped by hiding icons and folders i don't use as well as uninstalling the apps i never use.

the battery life was also helped by turning my GPS off unless i need it, and reducing the screen brightness to it's lowest setting (which is PLENTY bright).

i am getting more and more used to the keyboard and am pretty fast with it now. the 2 letter per key or 3 letter per key keyboard in portrait view are both useless, so i just use landscape. one thing i have found is that i make significantly less mistakes when i keep my thumbs on the side of the keyboard they are supposed to be on.

there is a larger gap between the two halves of the keyboard in landscape mode. if you're looking at it you will see what i mean.
