* Moderate texting - 100 in and out per day
* Maybe 10 calls a day lasting 20 mins or less
* Twitter client runs 24/7 - PockeTwit is visually amazing
* Palringo only 20-30 mins a day, if at all
* Only about 20-30 mins of browsing per day, if at all (Opera mostly, although I discovered SkyFire yesterday)
It will be interesting to see how the battery performs as time goes on. It seems like the trend is for the battery to loose capacity quite quickly (a few months vs a few years)...

huh? that's extremely heavy usage...
With gmail checking every HOUR, about 20 texts, a total of about 5 minutes ot talk-time, or none, and zero IM usage, with no browsing... My battery will last from 9am to about 4pm.
If I actually use the phone the way it is intended, with bluetooth always on, and about 100 texts, I can make it about 4 hours--maybe. I have had several of these phones, and I know people with the 6700, and other phones like the Q9c and blackjack... they get terrible battery life too.
I think it has something to do with essentially having a mini-laptop running off of a tiny 1150mAh battery. My M1's was bigger--if I recall..
