Use google voice instead?

OK you got me in an error. I meant Google Voice. I *do* use Google Talk though because that is how I chat with pretty much all of my friends. We typically keep Gmail open in a browser tab when we are at work and then use apps on our phones when away. Makes it easy for people without unlimited text and it keeps all conversations in a single thread.

I will have to check that out if I notice bad battery life. So far mine has been so-so with a good 8-10 hours of moderate use (frequent checking the web, email, browsing the market and installing apps) taking me from 100% to 40% but I also had the Flickr bug that people mentioned earlier. I just removed my Flickr account from the phone so we will see if that improves things at all. If I find it unacceptable at any point I will consider looking at Google Talk as a place where I can improve things.
