- 1/2 hour of game time (teeter)
- 1 hour of playing with the phone time (taking a few pictures, one 10 seconds video recording, playing music (10 minutes), viewing photos, weather, etc.)
- and about 1/2 hour of web browsing.

I have disabled Bluetooth, GPS (location), Wifi, auto weather update, etc.
The only things I have always on are phone and data.
I also lock my phone after every use and kill all running program.

I will update when my battery finally dies with how much run total I got out of it.

==========================
Okay, something is a bit off.

I just installed nuePower (so I had to Google, browse, download, and install).
My battery is now at 1 bar and 20% (according to nuePower).
NuePower shows a drain of 157 mA (screen dimmed) and 193mA (screen fully on).
This is with all running programs closed.

Those numbers are high.
At those rates, it is virtually impossible to get more than 5 hours of cumulative active usage on this device.
nuePower is accurate. This phone uses nearly 200mA doing absolutely nothing, wheras older phones used about 30-50mA.
