Maximize battery life...

[RonDutt]

Any tips to maximize the battery life on my TP? I seem to reach about 40% after maybe an hour or two of moderate/heavy use. My Blackberry Curve could go a 4ish hours while browsing/heavy use (screen always on). TP seems to only do that if I'm watching a video. Seems to get awful hot too...a friend suggest to shut off bluetooth and gps but to my knowledge both are off, yet its still pretty warm to the touch after data use. Haven't tried to see how long it lasts with voice. Can't use the Diamond Config app as it seems to crash on start (tried the Tochpanel registry fix, didn't apply to me). Any tips fellow geeks can share? Really would like to make the battery last at least half a day, then swap out with a spare around lunch.
