For me, battery has not been an issue on my Pre. I simply shut off push email because I am around a computer for most of the day and I don't need it. I use my Pre as an MP3 player and listen to music (probably works out to 4 hours of music, maybe 5) at work. With some texting, calling, and wi-fi use, I usually get home with about 25-30% battery remianing after a 9 hour day.
