About how long will your battery last with little to no talk time?

I don't talk on my phone much but with moderate texting and web browsing I get an easy 2 days out of my battery. That is with email off, beam off, wifi off, bluetooth off, but weather updates every 90 minutes.
I'm also running Winmo 6.5.

Hard to say because it is hard to use my phone without talking!

I would guesstimate that I probably get around at least 12 hours standby time with very light use (couple texts, less than 10 minutes of calls).

Overall though, it almost seems that 1 minute of call time equals roughly 1% of battery life for me. A one hour call kills about half my battery.

Wow, so as of this posting, 17 people get less than the official amount of talk time listed on HTC's site:

Talk time: Up to 250 minutes (4.16 hours)

And only two people get more.

Fyi, Standby time is listed as: Up to 350 hours
