I cannot get through the day with just a few 5-10 minute phone calls and maybe a couple of text messages. No TV, GPS, BT, etc. Kind of afraid to use them much given the battery life from just making a few calls. But I just turned the GPS location off after reading about it above, which I also did in my 6700. So maybe that will make a big difference (I hope). I've done all the other reg hacks and turning things off that I've read about to this point, and I don't use push email. Kind of frustrating at this point.
No real heat issues with the TP, but it does get a little warm at times. So did the 6700, though.

That sounds like a battery issue, and not the same that people are talking about in general. I would take it to the store you bought it from, and ask for another battery. Not being able to make a few phone calls, indicates a battery problem, IMO. Even with no programs running, and no other radio usage, you should still get more than what you are getting. Did you fully charge it out-of-the box?
Has anyone looked into that, to see if that is a common characteristic for battery problems?
