Did you adjust the screen brightness? Blackberry has terrible backlighting and that is why the battery last longer. Adjust your power and backlighting to lower setting and shorter duration to conserve the battery. In normal usage, backlighting brightness setting 2 should be enough in indoor environment and you can set the timeout value for the backlighting to 30 sec and unit powerdown to 1 minute or so to last it longer. The default setting is too high to my taste.
