I have a Sprint HTC 4G 3D , from what I can gather from the Verizon web site the HTC Rezound non 3D equivalent. I believe that all smart phones are battery hogs but I purchased a large capacity batter from Amazon for about $50~$60 and now I can go a day or two without charging the phone it I don't use it for the internet.
The down side is the phone with the oversized battery is more than twice as heavy and thick but it id s worth while trade off

I also bought a Droid Razor. Works great. Battery life is determined by what you do with your phone.
I get 16 hrs with light use or about 10-12 moderate use.

A friend bought the new Droid Razor Max and he gets great battery life.
It's about $100 more than my Razor, so I made do. (Retired)
Just upgraded from the 1st gen Droid Incredible (got it summer 2010) to the Razr Maxx. Great phone, 3300mah battery and I'm getting about 2-3 days on a charge. I'm very happy with it.
It's carried in an Otterbox Defender case.

The reason that the battery being replaceable is important to me is because I use a GPS app when playing golf. Eighteen holes (about 4 hours) will run down a fully charged battery.

Depends on the phone. A five-hour trip did not drain the battery on Sarah's iPhone 4. We rain a test with it agains our Garmin. BTW, the Garmin Dezl won on the best RV route.
Galaxy Nexus, FTW, as others have mentioned, 4G/LTE, removable battery, slim and sleek form with gorgeous curved screen, running Android 4.0, and gets the OS updates first, as do all Nexus phones.
Yes, Nexus phones, which come out once a year, are ALWAYS easily rootable. Not so with some other Android phones which have a locked bootloader. Motorola is the worst offender, as far as locking down their phones.
Nexus are the "Google phone", the "developer phone". So app developers always buy them, but so do a lot of geeks / gadget knowledgeable folks who know that whether one chooses to root or not, the OS updates always come to the Nexus phones first. FYI, IMHO, Droid-life.com is the best website for info on all the Android phones.
In addition to what crcr said, the Nexus is what's called the "reference implementation" of Android. It runs plain and pure stock Android with none of the other manufacturer framework on top (Touch, Blur, Sense, etc.) and none of the carrier bloatware. Something else to keep in mind is when security patches come out on Android, it will take months to get them on the other phones, if you get them at all.

x2 ... If there is a Nexus phone available from the carrier you prefer, the Nexus phones are always an excellent choice. Whether you are a geek-type or not -- many advantages.
