Yah, I see quads being useful more for tablets or the laptop style docks. A light user might get away with not having a real PC in a couple years. Phone use? The main advantage is going to be a smaller process and more aggressive power gating.

I can't wait for smart phones to be capable of going a whole day without having toworry about plugging it in. I think I had a fluke when my phone went 2 days without needing a charge.
Have you compared with anyone else? I have a 3vo, but it's virtually the same as your sensation and I'm sitting at 49% battery at 11:13PM. It's my work phone (about 1100 minutes per month) and quite a bit of web crawling, led light using, and about 5 pictures per day average, not to mention wifi browsing when I get home in the evenings. Maybe you got one with a Desire HD battery in it by mistake? hehe
Or, maybe mine is going to go downhill soon:/
