Well, why not put the TP on Verizon? I think that there is a tut on how to do that around here. That would save you a few bucks, no?

If you are worried about the battery life, well maybe newer devices are something to stay away from all together. Nowadays, devices sacrifice slim and sleek for battery life....so what I am trying to say is that the TP doesn't have horrible battery life when you compare it to other Windows Mobile devices.

That being said, I have tried a few tweaks and I have not seen a change that I could actually notice to say that it wasn't the placebo effect.

Lastly, you WILL notice that the battery life has a direct relationship to where you are in respect to signal strength. In a location where there is VERY low coverage, you will see that your battery will die at least twice as fast as normally (I can speak from experience).

So in your shoes I would simply try to get the TP on Verizon and if the batter is so bad, either get another battery or get an extended battery. Either option will get you through a day. I can go through one or two days with one batt, but your milage WILL vary.

Good Luck,
