Anyone know how to check what could be draining my battery so fast? I didn't see anything that jumped out at me using advanced task manager. I sync with exchange and hotmail and a few other accounts not as often but this seems a bit high.

Make sure data arrows are "grey" (i.e. not active) when you measure and let the phone go to sleep. You want to check it just as you wake it.
Lot's of things will make it spike, like even moving the phone may trigger gsensor events.
Set your screen fixed brightness and as low as can be, but comfortable. I find 30% pretty good after you get used to it. At first it seems dim.
Try shutting off bluetooth and see if it drops.
With the phone "awake" I get aorund 50ma.
If none of the above works, you can try start killing porcesses and services to locate the culprit.
I've had 28014 based builds run good on battery too.
