if you're a user that simply uses it as a phone, then yeah, you'll get battery life out the wazoo. otherwise, forget about all the kernels and cpu hacks. nothing is gonna work. you'll be tethered to a power supply all day and nite.
Yep, I have to agree with you on the kernels. I have tried most of them and especially recently, they completely slow down my phone if that makes sense. Tried kk #9 and my linpack scores afterwards were 2.9 and 2.5??? Stock kernel seems to work well for me. Not sure why I cant get the others to work other than the older netarchy ones. I did wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing the kernels as well.

Battery life is going to suck no matter what PPC, Android, IPhone, BB on the planet if you actually use it. LOL>
