what screen brightness settings are you guys with good battery lives using?

obviously turning off live wallpapers is a must...

i was running like 75% screen brightness... but now down to 25% (luckily, the slider scale doesn't seem to be very linear, so even at 25% it's quite bright... almost too bright at 75% or higher...)

anyone running auto-brightness? i tried it, but it fluctuates too much and find it kind of annoying in a distracting way...

also noticed that have an IM app (such as HI AIM) running sucks down the battery pretty quickly....

after a few charge cycles though, with live wallpaper off, 25% screen brightness, turning off IM apps when not in use, turning off WiFi when not in use, battery seems to be holding up much better...

of course, i'm not playing with it every 5 secs like on the first day that i got it

cheers
