for those who complained about battery life, better check on yr apps instead bcz most of the juice drain are caused by apps.

i get very good standby time with data off.
8 hours drop 1-2% with wifi off
8 hours drop 3-5% with wifi on

kernel stock, only use juice defender. dont always sikit sikit think yr phone got problem then want send back SC. i think is the user got problem more.
*
good battery life there...


not to forget,when you have low phone signal, it eats more battery.. so make sure to signup wide coverage whistling.gif

Wonder how you n some others can get scratch
I m adventurous type n always test scratchability by dragging keys n even a pen blade across display

Only sand particles can scratch it
