Assuming the 22K text messaging claim is legit, that's sending 45 text messages every hour (assuming 8 hours of sleep a day). And, assuming they are evenly spaced out through the day, and you don't push the power button to turn off the screen, the phone will never go into standby. To have all the radios on, and use the device constantly for 3 hours isn't horrible for the battery to last that long. But the battery will season a bit after a few charge cycles.

OP, you may want to go here, and tweak your phone to get better battery life.

Yeah but basically what I was saying is that it's ridiculous whether you use it that much or not... A full charge and it's dead in 3 hours doesn't seem to fathomable to me... I send about 15-20 texts in a hour on average, and my TP2 on Mighty's latest ROM will last all day on a completely charged battery, and still have 30-40% at the end of the day... I'm still gettin the Evo but damn I hope these bugs and shit are gone by the time mine comes around...
