A few notes on battery life I've learned in the past year:

1. xcpu and hackmaster and similar will drain your battery like a heater would drain your electricity.

2. internet connections going to idle will not affect battery life much.

3. using wm6.1 the dialer matters as to the internet connectivity
a. new touch dialer dated 3/8 will not let the connection idle
b. the older touch dialer WILL allow idle connections

4. advanced configuration does help battery life by enabling all power saving techniques.

5. the battery tweaks did not help me (from the kitchen)

6. setting a backlight timeout and power timeout of 1 minute improved battery life almost as much as turning off every unused radio

7. the brightness on the lcd being half way up does not affect battery life as much as one thinks (from one notch above off)...

Hope this sparks some controversy.
