if wifi is not constantly on (use wifi switcher to turn it off when not in use) i'm sure you'll get better mileage out of the battery.

well in settings you can specify the time the phone will look for wlans. you can set it from minutes to several hours. what was your setting thelushlife? anyways it seems that once a sevice, e.g. mail for exchange requests an IP-connection, the wlan connects and stays connected. would be nice if it would disconnect after some minutes without traffic.

I've had two days from mine, using the wifi switcher, setting it to 3g only, display brightness on 3 and disconnecting the internet connection after each use, quiting apps when they're not in use etc.
I used it quite frequently, i rarely put it down.
It did have 2 or 3 minutes plugged into usb around lunch on day 1 while transfering the quake 3 paks over.
Just have to be prudent with your usage.

i agree with nifton's 2 day 3G usage. i've upped my display settings to 3 bars and so far battery life seems to be good. i will see how far i can push it by leaving pidgin MSN online. if battery drains too much from pidgin, i'll revert back to the more battery-conservative jabber with MSN transport service.
skype seems to be a huge battery-eater from the other battery power threads. i'd recommend using jabber to integrate all gtalk, msn, aim, yahoo accounts. from what i know jabber is extremely battery-efficient while allowing always-connected access.

thelushlife, you should try msn-pecan instead of pidgin.. It's nicely integrated like other services. (I think it's in testing or devel). And if you are not on skype or similar, you should try 2G. I use 3G only when surfing and skype on. (Actually skype does work on edge pretty well, too)

There _was_ (Diablo) an option for the WLAN to disconnect after a while... only I never used it there because the N810 spent nearly a full week on battery while connected to a WLAN ap.
If you're getting less than 48h with WLAN on but idle, I'd say your Wi-Fi AP doesn't support Wi-Fi Power Saving (and/or the beacon interval is insane).

What is the difference between wifi switcher and simply go to settings and change to connection to "Always ask" or switch off "Switch to Wi-fi when available."?
Fellow SGean here
Yup, I personally had used the Wifi switcher and battery life seems to have improved.
Wow, I'm paying $15 a month for 1GB data plan... is this student price or wat?
