I have a TP and Pre also, and the Pre's battery life seems a little better IMO.
Yesterday, for example I noticed that while charging the Pre via USB connected to the computer, I was able to stream Pandora for hours via Wifi and it still was charging.
Try doing that on the TP, and ur battery will drain faster than it charges.

Theres been a lot of talk on the TP forum about this. It seems to be the general consensus that the radio firmware sucks and that b/c of the hardware the heat generated while using multiple radios (ie phone on while wifi or bt or all 3 being on) caused the unit to slow the charging process from the full amp to half an amp or not at all. so altho i believe winmo isnt helping anything the hardware (and its associated firmware) isnt the greatest either.
Personally im tired of having to wait for the screen to flip to landscape and then back when im just trying to send a quick response text. I went some time using different on screen keyboards but got tired of that. I mean really, what did I buy the TP for over the diamond. The hardware keyboard! I'm excited to use the pres keyboard, altho its size scares me a little. (I got on my local stores waiting list monday... just waiting for that phone call!)
