Doesn't seem much different than actually using it. (minus excessive data and/or BT). I did get a couple voice mails I had to check along with texts and some emails (Activesync and AUTD run).

It literally sat there and did nothing most of the day and it STILL can barely manage a 12 hour run.

Tomorrow I'm going to turn the data connection off and see if there's any difference in life. I will also minimally use it.
Unplugged phone from wall today @ 9am. Immediately turned
DATA OFF
DIRECT PUSH OFF

Did about 15 texts today. Various checks of the battery.

As of 7pm, I'm at 60%!

Having the data portion of the phone on makes a HUGE difference imo.

What's weird, despite having data off, it kept giving me the Ev and /\ (roaming) this morning. Didn't see it much the rest of the day, however.
