Damn hommie, 30 texts an hour is occasional?! haha.... Best way to check is to leave it unplugged overnight, it shouldn't drain more than 10%. I'd say 8 hours of texting is about right. Wi-Fi on can actually help your battery if you're in an area with bad 3G service. Being connected to a router via WiFi will use less battery than looking for 3G service and downloading your stuff slowly. Let me know if you're up time and awake time are now different.
