Looks like the battery may be even worse then the X50v

Well, not exactly; 2 hours of phone talk eats up a lot of battery on a lot of CDMA phones. But Samsung is notorious for middling battery life, as the i600 sitting on my desk can attest to. I had hoped they'd improve it for the i730, but that's not to be.

The one saving grace is that battery life often improves with some use, so maybe we'll see better numbers come out later. But I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks Janek. I didn't know if I had access to post a News story. I thought only you guys did. Hmm, guess I could have at least tried :?

You misunderstand me. ;) By submitting it as news, it puts it in our submission queue. We editors then pick submissions from the queue and make up frontpage posts. Reader submissions are one of our main sources, so the more submissions we get, the better.
