Once my girl gets back to the states tomorrow, I won't need to be logged in to any "VoIP/IM" accounts...hopefully that will get me over the 24hr. barrier, even though I don't see much processor, nor any data activity, per Conky.
I noticed leaving it logged into a network either wifi or 2G drains the battery much faster even if it is not actively being used. I've seen battery life go from 18 hours or so to 2+ days if I only connect to 2g manually when needed. It's too bad though would like to leave my IM running in the background and still get 1 day + of battery life...
