Use CDMA only mode rather than Global (Don't need GSM since I'm not traveling anywhere that requires it.
Make sure Bluetooth and WiFi are disabled unless needed.
Set backlight to 50% on battery. At 100% it's too bright anyway.

X2... I set backlight to auto and same as above but don't push email - I update on demand instead. I haven't used the phone a ton (only a couple calls, texts, some playing on local apps, and a bit of internet) in the last couple days and I'm at 57% on 2.5 days since charge. This is on the June 29 ROM which has been very stable and good on battery life for me. Another thing, is that if you sit in dead zones (like work in a basement with no coverage) switch it to airplane mode or it will destroy your battery life. I don't have that issue but the wife does.
