I have mine synching with exchange as items arrive (and I receive a LOT of e-mail daily), my phone doesn't stop ringing between 9am and 6pm and I regularly use my browser to log into web services using VPN connections (many of the servers and devices I manage use web applications for administration). I unplug from the charger at 8am and it's battery lies at around 20% at the end of my work day. This is when I never plug it in to charge in the office. Most of the time I am nearby a charger and I also have a 2nd battery but I'd just like to post this to let the OP know that this particular battery issue has been solved. You just have to step into the custom ROM world.
And in contrast, I think this is THE BEST WM phone that has ever been produced. Second only to the Touch PRO if you really need the hardware keyboard and expandable memory.

Forgot to mention I'm using Mighty's latest ROM and battery life still stinks compared to my Touch.
Don't get me wrong it's a great phone but what good is it if it's dead by noon?
