Are you running friendstream? I've read that it tends to soak up more juice than the standard FB or Twitter apps.

I've still got a week or so until I get mine. I'll be throwing something up on connect-utb after I get a few days under my belt - will be focusing hard on battery life. Most reviews I've seen so far don't go into power details.
I do have friendstream on, but it's only set to update Twitter and Flickr every two hours (I don't use facebook). Wouldn't seem like 2 hour polling would be a big drain, but who knows.

The something preventing my phone from sleeping is me

I actually rebooted a couple hours ago so don't have a good sample. It's about 60-75% right now, but that's all attributable to my activity...uploading youtube videos, playing around, etc.
