Battery life is only an issue if using 3G/EVDO/Rev-A, I've had mine set for 1x and I get through the entire workday all the way to dinner (~12 hours) and I still have 70-80% left. This is how Blackberries do it (except they're smarter...they use 1x for everything ecept when theres a file attachment or heavy data usage). I haven't charged in 5 days, just now hit the 20% mark.
