Battery Life is IMPORTANT!

Well, this is a little harsh given I've changed phones WEEKLY because of lousy battery life! My phone is my business tool and so it has to work all day - every day.
I run .109 now after trying all the other betas. I was getting barely a work day of battery (11 hours) with all the tweaks (GPS off, brightness down etc) with the others. I moved to .109 last week and was getting 30-40% battery at the end of my work day - a big improvement.
I installed BatteryBooster last Friday on the recommendation of other CB's in another thread and now I have been finishing my day at 40-50% battery life. Don't know how it works, but it does. Well worth the USD10.00 price as far as I'm concerned.
I run 3G continuously with BT turned ON because of my car kit. I also run BES email. I envy the people who get 3 days, only my former Nokias used to give me that. Just for the record, my iPhone with ALL the adjustments and hourly email polling (not push) would give me 30% barely at the end of the day.
So yes, I STRONGLY believe OSes have different battery use profiles and they will improve.
Bring on the next beta or preferably an OFFICIAL release!
