I setup activesync to get my contacts back and set it to sync every 1 hour. I turned off weather and beaming. Surfed the web at lunch for 15 minutes. Had 53 minutes of phone calls. Installed Nuetools to see the battery in 1% increments. 13 text messages. So no push email all day and other than the 53 minutes of talk not much else.
So after less than 10 hours at 4:16pm I have 19% battery left.

I am becoming convinced that there are differences in build quality (or battery quality) from phone to phone. I have one of the good ones. Looking at your usage, I have tried to estimate what I could expect.
Estimated discharge if it were my phone
10% - audio book taken as a given. I have no way to check
5% - 15 minutes surfing. what I would expect on my phone
20% - my estimate of 53 min of talk time on my phone
5% - text messaging / emails - my rough guess. This might be worth verifying It could be a bigger drain if data connection stays active.
15% - general phone discharge in 10 hours - I lose 1%-2% per hour.
55% Total discharge
If it were my phone, with your usage, I would expect to have 45% battery remaining. If I had left Bluetooth on during that whole time, I would be down to 0%. Bluetooth on costs me 8%-10% per hour in discharge.
During the 39 hours since my last charge I have used 1 hour of talk time, checked weather several times, checked the clock 15 or 20 times and looked at my Settings a few times. Airave off, Bluetooth off, GPS locator on but no GPS used. Signal 1 to 3 bars. I currently have 58% remaining on my battery.
Maybe this will give you some clues on where to look.
