Battery drain is a real issue on the HTC Magic.
This is how I have addressed it:
1. I've purchased an extra 2 batteries - from ebay they are cheap and some have free shipping. (I never leave home without one!)
2. I've purchased (also on ebay) a stand up charger - it charges a spare battery at the same time as it charges your Magic. Also, the Magic is in a holder, so that you can use it on your desk as a sort of desk unit.
3. get advanced task killer from the market, and use it occasionally. You will find that the messaging app is always on and active. (I think that's a bug.) You will also find that your Magic is much faster after you have killed all those apps that are running.

SIPDROID does work. If you get SIP credentials from freephoneline.ca, you will be able to use it without it counting to your cell phone minutes.
