I went from 4-6 hours, to just about 13 hrs and still at 40% today. Why the heck would I want to buy a phone that only works "On-Demand", why dont I just get a cell phone and carry an HP iPaq for Christ's sake. (The battery sucked on that too).

I also found that once I stopped fuddling around with battery settings and task killers all day that the battery was much improved.
