I do suggest the running it down, and recharging every now and again and you should see decent results then.
yeah f-ing right! I can hard-reset my phone with nothing running on it, and it will be below 60% in 9 hours.

the GPS/data/email thing is unbelievable. GPS drains an ENORMOUS amount of power. Are you sure GPS is "active?"

On any ROM/radio I have used, if I had all the stuff running that you did, my battery would be completely drained in 2 hours or so... Mostly the GPS....
