I wanted to read through 8 pages of comments, but my edge is acting up . Seems that my pr1.1 battery drain is the IM services. using XMPP and Skype only. My battery was draining about 30% faster than usual. In an 8 hour work day with moderate use (about 2 hours of on device time) I'd close the work day at around 70%. With heavy use, I'd close at about 50-40%. Since the upgrade, Im closing with light, moderate or heavy use in the 40-30%. On a tip from Speedevil and the ever helpful Pupnik, I stopped using the IM services, and have been using pidgin. My battery life has actually now gone up a little bit, today after 8 hours of very heavy use, I closed the day at about 40%. I was probably on the device using IM, playing Angry Birds, and updating my blog, as well as RDP'ing into 2 desktops and a server, for about 6 1/2 hours, out of the 8. Certainly a huge upgrade from the upgrade . Still looking forward to a bigger Mugen battery, thats a must have with an always connected device like this. I mean, whats another 1/4" in thickness honestly?

For those who are interested. Both Pre and Post upgrade, I have been using the same desktop configuration. And I restored my program backup and used the optify script to relink all of my games. On my 3 desktops, I have the facebook widget, the rss widget (8 feeds), the conversations widget, the eyes widget, ohmweather widget with 1 city (non GPS), the calendar widget, the music player widget, and about 30 icons. Additionally my brightness is set to level 2/5 by default, and appears to autoscale based on the light hitting the front camera(?).

If anyone knows of any issues with any of my widgets (powersave ignoring for example), please let me know, even though Im happy with the battery life, I'd still like to maximize it in any way possible.
