How was your phone signal? At work, my battery life varies depending on which site I'm at. One site has a excellent signal, a second has no signal, and battery and phone are fine. A third site has a very marginal signal, and the phone just about kills itself holding onto the signal, getting very warm, and munching though the battery in the process. One other thign about the email. have you installed the modst fixes kicking around in these forums, that improved my email performance no end.
