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.

I find that 3.5 hrs talk time on a charge is impossible for me. If I start at 100% battery I could maybe make it to 3 hours before it dies.
As for standby, without it doing anything I can routinely get 48 hours, and have hit 72 hours a few times. This is, of course, not using the phone or data AT ALL. If I use either of those functions, then battery life spirals downwards (lose about 24+ hours of standby time for every hour on the phone/data)
And yes, it looks absolutely marvelous while it is sitting there not doing anything
