Not yet, I'll try that, but I did switch to 3G only and it has signal almost all the time so I would assume it could find 3G fine. I guess the issue could be that it is using a lot of power being on 3G? But that is an issue in itself, should be able to stay on 3G without causing an issue, who wants a phone they have to keep on EDGE constantly, right?

Also I've been turning off the internet connection so it is picking up 3G but no internet signal (cept when I use it I manually turn it on then turn if off again when done) and still it dies in 6 hours... weird.

I'm assuming from your responses so far though that it seems it's just me with the crappy battery life...
