Was having major battery drain since I bought the phone on release day.. Turned off facebook sync and google sync... Boom over double the battery life. I was at 60% after 8 hours of hardly any use and now I am at 60% after 24 hours and having IM running in the background (meebo)!
Try it! I know google sync is nice, but not if it destroys battery life. I just manually check it
I sync everything, leave my GPS running with Google Maps Latitude checking my position and my battery is only down to 30% by the time I charge it at night.

Thats interesting, I get great battery life with all sync options on but when I use Meebo I get poor battery life.
Im testing facebook Sync battery life today so well see how that works... I have Google on FB off. Half way throught he day ill get an idea if that was it or not, and ill throw meebo on for the rest of the day
I have great battery life and I leave both on. I DO however, make sure to close apps when I'm done using them using the task manager app
Define great battery life? You are leaving that all up to personal opinion rather than numbers. Also, closing apps wont save battery... thats not how droids OS works. Apps lie dormant when you close them, draining nothing unless they are background network requiring apps.
