Also, I have my SetCPU set to 1 ghz max and 400 mhz min, power set to performance...you could do conservative to save some battery but I think the battery is fine with it at performance. Today (obviously) was the first full day with my Epic. The phone came off the charger @ 4:15 am before I left for work, I have had it off the charger since then and it's now 10:35 pm and according to "battery gauge" I have 17% batt life left. I have had multiple conversation, plenty text's, been on facebook a lot since I can't live without it and have both FB and Twitter to update every 2 hours with my contacts...Not too bad if you ask me considering my brightness is turned up all the way to about 90%
