    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

    My battery life is great and I leave sync on. I have the GPS/wi-fi/bluetooth turned off and the screen in the middle brightness setting.

    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.

    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.
