I can't believe your figures.

With very light usage*, I get perhaps 30 hours -- max. These last few cycles have been about 8(!) hours, so right now I'm doing a full, powered-off, recharge, a deep discharge and another full recharge. Let's hope it's better. Oh yeah, and Android says I've got almost a full charge, while Battery Left says an hour and a half -- and is usually right. Gah. [Edit: and yes, this is with minimal apps running; wifi+sync 1hr/day (scheduled) rarely GPS and never any Bluetooth; and only two widgets (Battery Left and Calendar). I've checked, and Battery Left is NOT what's sucking the life force out of my phone.]

* I usually send 1 sms per day, talk 5 mins per day, and use the calendar and misc PIM apps for a combined total of less than an hour. All this while %$#$%&% because the phone is so gorram slooow, taking several seconds to load up today's calendar, or at least a second to show the contacts list! I sometimes (who am I kidding, I mean 'often') curse my decision to buy into this thing instead of sticking to my Palm.

Sorry, just had to let off a bit of steam.
