Battery mileage will vary greatly depending on what you do though.

I use IM+ 24/7, which is a huge battery drain. Top that off with my office getting huge interference for some reason giving me a weak signal and I can kill the battery in 6-8 hours pretty easily.

One thing I notice is that if I set Windows Live to sync "as items arrive" and I get semi frequent email throughout the day, my battery will die WAY FASTER.

I'm talking down to 50% within a few hours sometimes.

That seems wrong to me, for push email to kill the battery that badly... It's set to only download 2k worth of the email per email received and play a notification sound.... that's nothing.
