I can EASILY get a full 18 hours out of my phone with...

10 sub 5 minute phone calls a day.
5-6 10+ minute phone calls a day
100+ text (including MMS) sent and recieved.
Frequent stock and weather updates. (every hour)
Play on facebook for 20 min or so.
Check many emails a day.
And web surf for 30 min or so.

I come off a turned off phone charge in the morning (7:30am) and put it back on charge with 20-15% remaining (11:00 pm)

The battery life really isn't that bad. No wrose than my Hero....

I went from Saturday morning to Sunday night without charging the phone at all, still had 20% remaining, though I didn't use it much.
