I admit I haven't read through all 10 pages of posts, but if it hasn't been mentioned, having ActiveSync's DirectPush feature on as well as Windows Live syncing all the time can also take a heavy toll on battery life.
Unless you really need emails instantly, I would recommend setting it to something like every hour or couple hours.
