No, did not root yet, but need to root because I need to disable one of the system apps (Voice Command) and the only way to block it is to root the device.

Battery life is dependent on what communications services are running (WiFi, GPRS, GPS, Bluetooth) and what apps are running and how the display is configured. So, I don't think for a phone packed with features it is fair to say "the battery is very bad" because battery life depends on how the device is used - more features, less life, this is true of all devices, given all things equal.

I used to have a basic Nokia phone, great battery life because it did very little.... it was a basic phone. The Galaxy S II is a powerhouse computer, which also happens to be a phone too. It has a 4.3 inch amazing display and of course, this on any phone will use a lot of battery life.

A brick uses no power, so it gets great battery life.... but I don't carry one around in my pocket, IFKWIM.

NAME
umodem -- USB modem support SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device umodem device ucom Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): umodem_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The umodem driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication Device Class using the Abstract Control Model. These modems are basi- cally standard serial line modems, but they are accessed via USB instead. They support a regular AT command set. The commands can either be multiplexed with the data stream or handled through separate pipes. In the latter case the AT commands have to be given on a device separate from the data device. The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). HARDWARE
Devices supported by the umodem driver include: o 3Com 5605 o Curitel PC5740 Wireless Modem o Kyocera AH-K3001V Mobile Phone(WILLCOM) o Kyocera WX320K Mobile Phone(WILLCOM) o Metricom Ricochet GS USB wireless modem o Sierra MC5720 Wireless Modem o Yamaha Broadband Wireless Router RTW65b o ELSA MicroLink 56k USB modem o Sony Ericsson W810i phone SEE ALSO
tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4) HISTORY
The umodem driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5. This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> in April 2002. BUGS
Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported at the moment. BSD
