    Mine lasts probably around 3 days with my usage, which is mainly text messaging (somewhere in the span of 10-20 messages daily) and some IM. Probably roughly a phone call a day that lasts 10-20 minutes, if that. I usually charge it back to full at the end of day 2, but it could probably make it through a 3rd day if I let it.

    It will totally vary on the device and programs running in the background. Some will last longer than others. For instance, mine dropped down 1 bar after a full charge the night before and running Trapster for 45 minutes going to work with the screen active the entire time, Nav4All running for 45 minutes going home same as above, BES email all day, probably 30-40, Gtalk, YM and AIM running, and the standard processes. Actually, when I got home, the battery was like at 1.5 bars down. But by the end of the evening and some heavy browsing the forums, I was down to only having 1.75 bars left. The browser definitely ate up a lot of power.

    So i was wondering-

    I sent/Recieved 30 emails- - BES ran all day, 30 text and bbm
    light web browsing, Downloaded a couple work files, ran my VZ Nav for a bit, made or recieved 40 phone calls, Battery went down to 2 bars and i recharged. Is this considered normal? Just wondering... running .90 and i close all the programs and only have the correct 5 running in the background- BBM, phone, web browser, Home and then one other i can't think of it. Thanks

    I could get 3 days life but I am light user. I think the important thing is to close your apps when you are done using them. If they are not running in the background this will save on battery life.

    You tube ate my lunch so it was deleted right away.
