For the record I charge my phone overnight, i wake up at 7:30ish and take it off the charger. Today was a lazy Saturday and I only have 3 calls in my log (its now technically 12:30 my time Sunday Morning) I Sync to a corporate Exchange server every 30 minutes on Saturdays (I get about 75 emails per Saturday and Sunday). I used my calendaring extensively for about an hour at a cubscout meeting planning crap. I have 80% battery right now..., the phone has 341 hours 21 min 5 seconds on it and is over 1 year old (Manufacture Date Jun 5th 2006) with an OEM stock battery (bought in OCT 2007)
My normal business day i wake up at 7:30 my phone syncs every 10 minutes to Exchange from 8:am to 6:00pm (i get about 200 email per day on a weekday), i use it extensivley for phone calls all day long as my career takes a lot of coordination with other engineers. I use my calendar extensively with loud alarms and voice notifications, I do not use BT or WIFI very often though I have an old motorola headset i use in the car when i remember (for safety) and have high speed WIFI at home which I use to download crap to my phone, but i only turn the WIFI on when I want a big file, then turn it off when i'm done surfing. I do not use MMS if that matters, I keep my brightness for battery level on the lowest+1 setting and dim after 2 minutes, suspend after 3.
After my lastest and greatest flash (Helmi 071117) on both my wifes and my 6700s we both NEVER need to charge before going to bed, and I can make it to 11:00a to noonish the next day if i forget (I have a charger at work, but if I forget I usually charge in my car on the way to work and I top off from 20% ish to 80%ish and make it through the work day)
The point is that if you arent getting decent battery its definately not the core ROM. I have had my battery crap out at work, but it has always been because i forgot to charge over 30 hours ago.
