I pull my phone off the charger at around 6am, and by the time I get off around 3pm I am usually around 70% remaining. though if I let programs run then it can go down to about 40% by 3pm.
I agree with this as well...I do want to thank the people in this thread, you have really help me manage my battery better. One pitfall to where I work is that the phone is constantly switch back between Sprint and roaming service. I tweaked the registry to force roaming while I'm at the office and it has improved my battery life 10 fold. I took my phone off the charger at 715am this morning and I am at 77% batter life now 12:10pm and I have probably been on the phone for roughly an hour or so. I'm very happy with this, as I think this is the best battery life I've seen.

I really wish someone would create an app to show how much usage we have left, because unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to do this myself. Anyway, thanks again...
