Will use today as normal. I always load etrade, wjs reader and instango most of the day. Very few calls made, I avg 5 mins a day (no social life, sad). About 5 txts per day for work. I also turn off wifi since I found 3g very good for my stuff. Battery usually lasts about 4-5hrs on its own like this. But when I plug it in from time to time at work, it lasts till the next day. Turning off wifi really extended the battery for me. With wifi on, the battery is always way down by lunch time, or 2-3hrs on.
| Your experience sounds exactly like mine when I tried Instango and Beejive. For some reason, the third-party IM clients are murder on battery life. Try deleting Instango for a couple of days--I bet you get 18 hours of good use or more out of the battery.
I really wanted to use Instango, but I have found the Gtalk and AIM clients are 10 times better on battery life.
