Whats the point of a data connection if you can't use it because your phone dies in few hours? First my widgets (foreca weather and rss) updated every half hour. Because of power drainage i changed it to 1 hour and now they are at every 2 or 4 hours. That still didn't change to much so i also signed out my im accounts and changed the mail to the nokia messaging service so i can use push mail, which uses way less power because you can turn of the automatic checking. With a bit of luck i can now last through the day with moderate usage.

The whole "online as it happens" part is a bit gone at this point don't you think? And as i said, htc dream or hero or what ever android phone for that matter do not have these issues.
