Battery Life

What is everyone getting for battery life? When I first got my Evo, it wouldn't last more than 8 hours with the default settings. I tweaked a few settings and improved it but would still like to squeeze more out of it without loosing push activesync mail. Ideally, 24 hours would be perfect since my work day can be upwards of 20 hours sometimes. My TP2 would typically have no problems lasting through a long workday with Push exchange mail but the Evo doesn't look like it'll come close.

Current settings are: Background data-on. Sync-on. 4G off, Always on mobile data-off. GPS-on. Wireless netorks for GPS-off. BT-on. Wifi-off. One push exchange account. 3 IMAP accounts polling at 1 hour. Zero push gmail accounts. 50 or so texts. 20 minutes of phone calls. 30-60 minutes of music. A lot of surfing and reading PDFs. Battery lasts about 12 hours.
