I am on 5 hours off charger and only lost 30%. I'll update later to see where I'm at.

Well...when all was said and done....not really sure how/why, but by 6pm (approximately 10 hours off charger) i was down at 10% battery. Not sure how, but turning GPS off apparently didn't have any effect on battery life. I'm going to still tinker with settings, but what is everyone else getting for life?
Again, Facebook and Twitter update every 30 minutes and I have both widgets on the screens, weather updates automatically, I have Exchange Server setup grabbing items "as they arrive" and my location is on at all times. I realize that all of these things contribute to battery drain, and I'm not really complaining about 10 hours off a charge with all of those things going, but I'm just curious if anyone else has all these settings similar with moderate use of the device and what their battery life is.
From what I understand, 1.6 actually includes a power status grid with it so that you can identify what is killing the battery. That'll be nice.
