First 3 days I let the battery drain quickly but I didnt mind as i was enjoying what I saw. Then i started to realise I had charged it twice in once day to find it was 30% before bed time. That is not good.

I am slowly turning off functionalities - although left the haptic feedback on as i'm lost without it (it really is quite good).

Anyway today i've had a much better result from the nightly charge. It's been 12 hours so far (charged for 10 mins during the day as I was using it in mass storage) and I have 42% left. I've spent 20 mins on a phone call, a few text messages, music for 30 mins, no web browsing, no videos. Wifi has been on the whole day (working from home) - so this makes me think 3G might be a culprit here. Anyway to switch to 2G?
You are absolutely right and i find it hard to believe that people can work with it for over a day.. why do they insert all those options if you cannot use them.. ok you don't have to activate all options at once..

My feeds are updated every hour (11 rss feeds, twitter, facebook), 2 hotmailaccounts every half hour. 1mfe account for calendar and contacts every 4hours. No chat.
Surfed 30min on train in the morning and had around 30sms

Battery was 30% when i left work, wanted to surf on train again, but i got warning for low battery (4%)after 2min
So the battery indicator isn't telling the truth?! I already saw that it sometimes goes up again with few %.

Will test tomorrow without 3g. Could a weak wifi signal take more power from battery? I hope 1.1 update improves battery and auto updates apps from store.. 2 of my frustrations
