I have been getting terrible battery life with this phone. And I've not been using it too heavily. I've only had it two days, so I'll keep a closer eye on it.
Yeah I think the jury is still out on the battery life. It didn't last me all day today. But it has also never been fully charged (charged it probably about 80% this morning). I played with it a good amount, but did not do any streaming really. I did have Wi-Fi on all day, and most internet usage was over Wi-Fi. But hopefully after a few charge cycles it will get better battery life.
You may want to look into the Titan if battery life is your concern. The Titan should be released by the time your 30 day return time is up. So, I would recommend going in and seeing if you like that phone.
Someone at the XDA forums said this:
yesterday was the first full day i had with it, and i took it off the charger around 11am and when i got back at 330am, it still had about 30% left.
and it was a moderate to high moderate day of usage for me (listened to podcasts in the car for about 2 hours total, music at work for about 2 hours, updated posts, read facebook/twitter/websites, played some games.
i also have okay to poor reception at work, so that probably didn't help battery issues when i moved into areas with poor reception.
so in conclusion, i'm quite happy with how well it's holding up so far, as good as the original focus i had, if not even better.

I haven't paid attention to battery life much yet but today I listened to music for an hour, used my phone for 4 hours straight (mostly browsing internet with WiFi off), and then let my phone sit for an hour and it was down to 10%. Medium brightness.
Not sure why you are saying to look at the titan? It has a 1600 mAh battery vs the Focus S's 1650 mAh.
The 8255t comes in 1.4 and 1.5 GHz flavors. HTC has a habit of using the 1.5GHz version so far.

Based on what I read, it's really 1.4 as the "official" speed, but not the max speed. HTC has decided to overclock it. But it's legitimate. So it comes in a 1.5 flavor from HTC, not Qualcomm...if that makes sense.
I unplugged the phone at 7am.
I've only had 7 or 8 short calls today (2-3 minutes each), with 15 minutes of streaming a podcast, and 45 minutes of listening to music via headphones. 5 minutes of GPS use, and another 10 minutes of fiddling around the UI doing web browsing and calendar stuff. Push exchange email. And the Samsung Weather backgrounding is turned on.
So here I am at 3pm down to 33%.
If I have a long call, I'll be juiceless for the drive home.
