Haven't spent any time with the Charge but people are getting good battery life out of it from what I read. The tbolt can be a battery hog at times if you are in 4G but its likely the charge lasts longer.

I normally just have to charge it once a day overnight and rarely have fallen into a situation where the phone would leave me stranded. Last night, battery was getting pretty low (10% charge). I just switched the network off so it would operate like a basic phone with voice/text.

I'm not a huge fan of Samsung phones and not sure how well updates and such will be supported. HTC has a good track record of keeping their products updated and open for people who like to root and do other things.

All things considered, either phone is likely a solid choice if you want to run on the 4G network (which is the real deal btw). HTC just has a better track record so this is what I went with. Supposedly a better battery will be coming out which is the same size as the stocker to quiet those that are having battery complaints.
