The RHOD is almost completely finished on this, and our battery life skyrocketed. So once the code is committed, hopefully some of the devs can hack it apart and make it work on other devices.

Until then, the best way to save battery is to turn off data (there's an app called APNdata or something... search for APN in the market) - and obviously any other radios when they're not in use like wifi, bt, gps, etc.

Also, this is probably the most important - make sure the device is actually going to sleep when you turn it off - sometimes apps or other issues can prevent the phone from properly sleeping, which will obviously drain your battery quickly!
Thank you for your answer.

I have been turning off all the networks (bt, gps, wifi) and I am working with the less level of brightnes.

But I think, I have a issue, when I turn to sleep the touch pro in android, the circle on the pad turn on. Like when charging the battery in windows mobile.

Another quiestion:
If I close HTC Sense 2.5 and other app in Windows Mobile, can I save battery in Android?
