    Well it's the end of the first workday with the new firmware and I have to tell you the battery difference in .75 is huge vs. .65. I used to have about 1 and a half bars left at this time, on BES + talking about 1500 minutes a month, and right now I am at 3 bars...seriously, I still have 3 bars left. Surprised a software update can cause this significant of an increase in battery life? I can't really explain it either.

    MUCH better for me also. I'm still about 60% and have used it for numerous phone calls, emails, and some browsing. Big improvement over .65!

    About the same as .65 for me but I don't always close all of my apps. Mine's been going since 6:00 a.m. It's 7:15 p.m. here and I've only got 2 bars left.

    I've been browsing A LOT today, made several calls (1 was 30 minutes long, the others were about 5 min), used bluetooth, GPS, email, text, camera, installed some OTA apps. From 8am till about 7pm I ended up with 1.5 bars.
