  HTC Evo's battey life is dismal? I have a Desire HD (the European equivalent) and I get two days of normal usage. Of course, I never use it normally, as I'm always browsing websites or playing games, but I did when I attempted it. However, I do imagine that the AMOLED display will not draw as much power, so it might indeed last longer.

    Oh yeah, the battery on my EVO doesn't last much more than a couple hours. Even sitting overnight will drain the battery 30% it seems. Even with that its such a better phone than any other I have used on sprint.

      Replace the stock firmware with a custom one. Not only will you appreciate the flexibility and extra functionality the battery life will no doubt improve. My Evo can go at least a day and usually most of 2 days on a single charge. I use FreshEVO Firmware, but there are other options too.

Also, AMOLED will only be more efficient if you view dark screens more often than bright ones, which I don't think would be true for most web browsing. Update: eliminated shortened urls.

      Please don't use URL shorteners here. You still have time to change it. Edit: Thanks for changing it!

    HTC tends to bundle undersize batteries with their phones. It's possible the Euro Desire has a larger capacity battery.
