LG 8700 battery life

Anyone else having issues with the battery life on this phone? I have read here (and maybe CNET user reviews) of some people having a very short battery life. Is this a confirmed problem or not? I'm about to upgrade and have my eye on the 8700 so would appreciate any honest input.

Thanks.

Just get it. Verizon has the worry free guarantee anyway, so you can exchange it within a couple weeks or a month i think

hrm, any phone that has a lot of features and you tend to use a lot is going to have a 'short battery life'. I guess it depends on the user.
