With BT on/discoverable I sit at 40-60mA

When I use the data connection, I jump to 300mA-400mA. (plus the 30mA for BT, if on.)

Active phone call is right around 400mA without BT enabled. (drops to 375 or so, once the screen dims, but doesn't go off)

How does the more advanced Pro use so much more power, even at an idle state?

Something is awry

Agreed! I'm seeing
13-14ma in sleep mode
40-60 ma with the screen dimmed
140-180 ma with the screen powered up and brightness at 50%,
650 ma on a voice call
900+ ma on a voice call with BT
600-650 ma on a data call


I am convinced that there HAS to be an issue with the Radio software. I can buy the 140-180 ma in normal operation, (faster CPU more memory). But the radios should get BETTER not WORSE. More advanced hardware should not have to work as hard to do the same job, thus less power... HTC needs to fix this!
