Questions for you guys from a rookie at the Smartphone GPS World... Ditched my UproMX during the recall, using Bushnell rangefinder, but miss the GPS option...

1. Does running Golfshots or other apps go against your data usage??
2. Is battery life a real problem? 27 holes out of the question on one charge?

Ready for an upgrade with Verizon, thinking Android for 4G...

4. Will standard battery on Rezound, Razr, Nexus work for a round or more with these apps?
5. Is the extended battery option a pre-requisite to get usable life for these apps?
6. Is Razr Maxx the only safe option with it's extended battery?

Any info, insight or recommendations are appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

It does go against data, but, for GolfLogix, it uses about 6-7 megs. Even if you have the bottom end 300 meg plan, thats PLENTY of golf!
Reading around, the Razr got so slim by cutting battery, teh Razr Maxx has about a normal phone's battery, so I don't know about it, but the Iphone 4 and Nexus goes the full round with about 30 percent of the battery gone.

I use Skydroid on the RAZR Maxx. Played 18 yesterday and had about 70% battery left. I also was taking pictures and videos (empty course, don't worry). I recommend Skydroid for a nice, simple app. RAZR Maxx is a great device, and the battery is epic.

I ended up getting a killer deal on the HTC Rezound phone last week from Verizon... Using standard battery for now... Loaded GolfLogix and Swing by Swing for test runs over the weekend. Yardages were good on both, comparing to my Bushnell each time... Difference was, the GolfLogix app used nearly all, 80%, of battery in 18 holes, while the Swing by Swing app used only 20% in 18 holes.... I am using just the basic app, not the upgrade, so only getting yardages to center with each app... Surprised to find the wide variance in battery usage, gotta give a thumbs up to the Swing by Swing App....
