hmmm that's interesting, what apps did you uninstall exactly? i don't have anything running on the desktop, just a few contact shortcuts and icons for some apps...

i customerized wallpaper and brightness is set to the third level. the only thing i have installed is google-pinyin (for chinese input) and that's about it... i don't see how anything could affect the battery.

connection is set to 2g or 3g but places i go mostly have good 3g signal...
