Someone must be a hardcore user here who can give the real performace in the real working world...????? Also battery life with active tiles going all the time.

I'll admit, my TP2 is not the worse in this, I have push mail on 2 accounts (hotmail and exchange) and use it all the time, I just hate the speed of the device and over clocking helps but, it tends to lock up a little more than normal..

I think I posted this a couple pages back, but the tiles do not poll the internet for data, thus they are not constantly draining your battery. Any updates to the tiles, are done via "push notiifcations" from the cloud. So basically every WP7 phone registers onto the cloud when it's activated. Then devs setup their servers to send various data notifications to their app users. The cloud then "pushes" the notification to the user, which updates the tile. So the only data transfer is done ONLY when there is actually something new. Pretty smart actually, as it doesn't kill the battery constantly polling for data.

Now I don't know how the rest of the battery life is, but short battery life shouldn't be caused by the tiles.
