Folks... 3.5 hours of talk time on a charge. "Some browsing in Opera" - was that about 30 or so minutes? If so you've burned nearly 40% of your battery total. Just on standby going 20+ hours is a major triumph for this battery.
Maybe folks aren't used to PDA phones where data use is roughly the same as talk time battery-wise? Anywhoo, you get just about 3.5 hours of USE out of the battery in a day, where USE pretty much means you're using it, for anything. It might possibly be able to sit there and do nothing for 24 hours off charger, unless it is silently using its battery to find a signal.
Compared to the mogul, it might be a bit worse at not using power when sitting there, and it is way more thirsty when in use.
But it looks
marvelous doing it.
