Now that I've had the Trophy for a week, I have a better sense of how it operates on a daily basis. There are many things I like about the Trophy, but there are also a few things that seem a little surprising in a negative sense, especially relative to the Droid 2 (Android). I want to find out if these negatives are typical:
1) When I access the Local Scout tile, as often as not it says Bing Maps is not available. Is this typical? I'll note I live on the 9th floor of a 16 floor apartment building and work on the top floor of a fairly new, 8 floor U.S. government building (and do not sit by a window in the latter case). I've had issues accessing the content of the Local Scout tile in both locations.
2) My battery life with light to moderate use averages about a day, which isn't too bad but is probably a bit worse than my Droid 2 was with its original battery. It takes a hit when I'm physically at work (the same is true with the Droid 2 but the discrepancy doesn't seem as big with the Droid 2). Is the battery life I'm describing typical?
3) I've tried accessing a message board (not wpcentral) through the Trophy and I only have partial access; no matter what I try to do to bring up a particular web page that contains the all the threads, I cannot do it.
4) I was having problems downloading graphical content in e-mails I'd received through my Hotmail account, but after resetting the phone this morning it looks like that issue has been resolved. The other three issues above have not though.
The above factors (especially 1, 2, and 4) make me wonder if the antenna in my HTC Trophy is a little weak. I'll note I haven't had any problems downloading items via a 3G connection.
One other question - I've noticed there is a notification light for missed phone calls. Is there any way to get a notification light for received but unread e-mails? Any feedback would be appreciated.
