I call BS on this.

There's no way you leave BT on all day, listening to music, talk several hours, send 50+ texts and still have plenty of life left at the end of the day.

You can take stock Touch's and do NOTHING with them all, day, but leave BT discoverable, and you will find it dead in 5 hours or less.

I've had 6 different Touch's, and a total of 9 OEM batteries. I've gone through at least 100 different ROMs as well, and I've NEVER had my phone last 8 hours.

-My EV-DO is always connected. Like most of us.
-I have one Exchange account that is set up as default, "as items arrive." (I only get about 10 emails a day on this account.)
-I have my gmail account check every 30 minutes.
-I turn off BT completely when I am not in the car.
-I have brightness at the lowest setting unless I am outside.

I get about 5 hours, with 10 minutes of talk, 15 texts, and about 5 minutes of Opera browsing.

I get about 8 hours, with no calls, no texts, and no internet usage.


I am REALLY skeptical of people that get a full day's use out of this phone.
