I also have corporate email and calendar but that is on manual download - the corporate calendar seems to update itself without prompting. I always kill tasks and i have the screen brightness on the lowest and the screen times out after 30 seconds. What is strange is that my Cell Standby gets a lot of battery usage even though im not using the phone ot make a great deal of calls. I t also states that it is out of range 50% of the time though i always have a signal! Does that mean that my signal strength is low and the phone is fighting to find a reception...that may be why the battery isnt as good as some others.
i had a few days of really bad battery life and the one thing i noticed was the out of range 50%. the last few days the battery life has been outstanding and makes no mention of the out of range thing and the phone seems cooler to the touch when doing things. i think this might be a bug of some kind can anyone else confirm?
