Re: Battery Life?

I am actually having the opposite experience. My 800w lasted longer than the diamond. I used to be able to make it 10 - 12 hours on the 800w. I am only getting 5-6 hours on the diamond.

Yesterday I turned off the following:

Seven Push email - Paused
Activesync email - check every 1 hour
IMAP Gmail - check every 1 hour
Bluetooth off
IR - off
Light sensor - on
Weather - on

I spoke on the phone for less than 20 minutes. I played 1.5 hours of a local audiobook (not streaming). I un-paused Seven email 3 times to check for current email and paused it back after 5 minutes and GPS for about 20 minutes.

After 10 hours I only had 20 percent battery left. If I did the same thing on my treo 800w I would be able to last 2 days on 1 battery.

Something just doesn't seem right with my phone. If I have to turn everything off, then it isn't as useful.

1. Are there any settings I missed that may cause a drain besides the settings listed above?
2. Can I buy another battery specifically for the Sprint Diamond?
3. If yes, Where???

Thanks!
