The longest thing I've done on it was about a 45 minute yahoo IM session yesterday. The other stuff has just been minor messing around with the phone.

This is a simple diagnoses, at least on the surface. If you're experiencing such poor life there IS a reason why.
how many charge cycles have you done?
good or bad coverage? Evdo or 1x?
screen brightness
screen timeout
update apps
memory leaks, have you updated MR
If all of these are within reasonable parameters then you need to download Spare Parts b/c something is keeping your phone from entering "sleeP" which puts the cpu into a power save mode. Get that, then open spare parts and check battery information, change drop down to "partial wake usage" and find what apps are keeping phone from sleeping. It's that simple.
If you have a brand new battery, with poor service coverage in signal and data, high screen brightness, long timeout, 4 email accounts constantly updating, problematic apps and constant usage - face the fact that you will need to adjust your "charging habits".
Someone mentioned the issue of upgrading from older devices like BBs, when you compromise battery life.
???there's no comparison. Look at the size of the screen.. the graphics... the software... the capabilities. there is absolutely no comparison.
