Can you tell us more about battery life?
Was looking to get a new device and just can't make the jump to a galaxy device. Even with touchwiz updates I'm still not a fan. 
What I'm really waiting for is the HTC One M10   but until then...

Battery is ok, when idle it doesn't budge, but in use it goes pretty fast. But that could be due to the test apps collecting and sending data  for analysis. And I usually am a pretty heavy user when I use it with many tabs open at once. But, in the end of the day, it does have a small battery.

The M10 should be out about March, based on past launches, what do you have now? You can probably wait..

Using the M8 currently. Issue is with the M10 that they will prob make the device bigger. 5.2 is my sweet spot. 
Were you able to manage a day on it with normal usage?

Yeah. Why so think they'll increase the size of the M10? They didn't follow everyone until now.

Just can't see them leaving the size the same at this point. I figure its less of a question if and more of a question of how big are they going to go.
Though I'd love to be wrong on that part. 

My fav phone of the moment is the lumia 950. Smooth operating system, removable battery, micro sd card slot and nice battery life. 

Unfortunately I have Sprint.

Eh. Just rumors I guess. They currently offer just the 635. Would love if they carried this flagship.
Windows phones are so underrated IMHO.
