I changed my phone from 'hybrid' (EVDO or 1X) mode to '1X only' and my battery life doubled. I could actually make it an entire workday on one charge. I would assume this setting helped as I live in a small town that only has 1X service; so stopping the phone from continuously trying to find a EVDO tower saved power.
This weekend I was looking at my Active-Sync settings and was shocked to see that it was set to sync with the receipt of every message (Exchange server w/direct push at work). I changed it to sync every hour, I still get emails as they arrive but have to manually hit send/receive if I want changes I have made on the phone to sync to the server before the next hour. After about 9 hours today I was still at 70%.
I know my battery is about shot as it will die in 15 min with wifi enabled. I ordered a couple new batteries and can't wait to see how long a 'good' battery will last.
