And sometimes it's really bad depending on application.

So less than 4 hours from fully charged to nearly dead battery.
I share your experience, sometimes it is just great being online, having everything you need in your pocket, I was walking around Athens, listening to some tunes, and bam battery low I have no idea where I am, i launched OVI maps quickly, was waiting for a GPS fix for like 5 min (no data plan, wifi) and it died on me... In middle of nowhere no one to call, nowhere to look at... Then i remember my 6300 at home it never failed me. Yes 7hrs is too little, 12 would be reasonalble on heavy usage. But on days I am working its all okay. I am online only on my way to and off work.
