I have a Telus milestone, and i had the same problem encountered. After many days of testing, turning off wifi, bluetooth, screen brightness etc, nothing was working.
I realized then that i was getting updates from gmail constantly, and it occured to me that it might be the problem. On my Telus Milestone, the default setting for my Gmail sync for contacts,calendar and email was 1 min. So basically, every minute.
So effectively, the hspa data connection would start up, sync all three, then shut down, wait 20 seconds, and start over.
I was getting 5-6 hours of battery, now i can get through a whole day(24 hrs) with light use. Depending on how much talk time i use, i get between 8-12 hrs with browsing/gaming.. etc.
As an aside, in 2.1, i use the power widget to turn sync off and on when i need it...saves 4 steps.
Hope this helps.
