Using data/voice for a mere 60 min a day, which isnt much, will drain the battery 25% per hour just on that hour alone, not counting standby or push email or gps or wifi. You use the phone an hour for voice and or data and boo your already down to 75%, standby is another 1-2% per hour. 10 hours in standby and an hour of usage puts you way down to about 50% not counting push or gps or wifi or any other apps that use the net. 10 hours plus a 45 min call and an hour of browsing or a net access app will drain you down to little to nothing (20-30%). Thats simply the facts of the numbers when you calculate it out.
Thats jsut how it is and how it is on all PPC's at that. In the end it all adds up to battery drainage. A lot of people need to honestly evaluate their usage based on those type of figures before complaining and come to an honest realization to change their usage or get another battery if they use the device a lot. It may be your usage pattern simply not conforming to the capacity of the battery, not the battey being poor.

That is so true, everyone wants it to be 10 times better, while running 10 times faster, and in a small a device as possible, something is gonna get sacrificed in the process. Personally I think I have been getting pretty decent performance out of my diamond. Admittedly, I haven't played with it too much since I am really waiting for the pro, so I put my girlfriend up to the task since she is a phonaholic and a textaholic. On a typical day of use: 9am off the charger, by 8 in the evening its at 40% to 50% which is acceptable in my opinion.
