I never thought it strange but this thread makes me think I should have more time from one charge to another.

What do you think? Should I worry?

2 - 3 hrs music is gonna frape your battery regardless. Then when you consider that you have all those IM accounts open too then I wouldn't say you got too many problems. Surfing the web aint gonna murder your phone, but powering the screen while you surf the web will. Sticking in HSDPA is less drain on the battery as it is not constantly "seeking" between 2G and 3G signals.

If you are still concerned post up the output from

Code:

powertop > output.txt
