I've implemented all of the tips in this thread and saw a nice change in battery life. Mainly, with a normal (moderate) day of use, I was around 15% by bedtime--7:30am - 1:00am. I've been hovering around 40% at bed time after implementing the tips in this thread.
One observation: I think the auto-dim setting eats battery. The first day I cleaned up the widgets, and turned off auto-dim is the first day I saw 40% @ 1am. A few days later, I turned auto-dim back on, and the phone went back to ~8% discharge per hour. I turned it off again today, and I'm sitting at 65% at 10:00pm. I'll continue evaluating it, and I can't explain it, but it sure seems like auto-dim contributes heavily to battery consumption. I set the brightness slider to about 25% which is fine inside.
