the phone is configured from Verizon with terrible battery managment in mind (ie. sell extra batteries).

to fix...

turn the phone off "world phone" (use cdma only) for a significant battery boost. then toggle bluetooth on/off as needed. This should significantly boost your battery life which should be very good even with heavy internet use.

wi-fi, excessive video/camera use or realtime GPS (ie. garmin xt, google maps) will drain the battery quicker, as expected.
