Waiting for Android, but until then I need to make this phone work in all situations.
For what it's worth, I did this hack and I seem to be getting better battery life:

HKLM/Drivers/Builtin/Battery

PollInterval > Decimal Value 20000

I have been listening to music over my bluetooth stereo headset for about about 5 hours, granted I turned off email polling to manual and have charged it for a few mins here few minutes there while tweaking my phone. I'm currently at 42% at 2:30 PM. I started listening to music around 7:15 this morning. Took an hour lunch and resumed listening to music afterwards.

I've replied to about 10 emails once I synced it manually to my phone. Did some light surfing for about 5-10 minutes, played 4 games of solitaire and no calls. That is about as accurate as I can get for you.

You may want to try the hack for yourself and see if you see any improvements
