Hmm zero problems here. I can get through a day with moderate use. One thing I noticed is that leaving my main internet active (edge) with pidgin running in the background reduces battery life, if I am using it for browsing etc, it won't last more than a few hours. I am hoping that it is pidgin that needs opitmizations.

With that said once pidgin is off and I only use internet when required I can easily get through a day, turned down the brightness and removed all those widgets....
