If I keep everything minimal - the way my phone is set up now, if it sits idle, it can make it through a full day (8am - 8pm) and still be at 85%+ battery. Keeping the screen on kills it pretty quick, as does talking on the phone. My average day consists of about 70-80 texts (each way), minimal time on the phone - maybe 20 minutes, and a good half an hour of looking things up online... usually the battery is pretty low after this, 10-20% or so but I haven't had it run out yet. I'm still using the stock battery.

The two things which improved my battery life the most were the radio switch (to the Telus radio) and switching ROMs. The radio swap had the largest impact, and switching roms was pretty minimal, but still noticable. It went from dead in 7 hours, even idle, to 85% remaining, so I'd consider that a pretty significant increase.

On the other side, I don't think I've ever made it more than 24 hours without a soft reset (something ALWAYS locks up and kills the phone), and I'm on my 4th TP and the keyboard just died on it - so I'm on to my 5th shortly here.

I agree with the radio part.

My TP has yet to fail me, but I am sure that it will soon after this post, haha. But that is why I have the 7.00 insurance (can't remember what it is called ATM.)
