definitely turn off beams, bluetooth, wifi and direct push if you are not using them, they will chew up your battery.

I can't find anything about "direct push". Where would I find it? I've checked everything and I can't find it. This site is great. thanks for any help given.

I think I found it. It has something to do with EMAILS. I haven't programmed the EMIAL stuff yet so it should not be an issue until I do. And I disable it when I do. Thanks anyway...

Direct Push is toggled on and off in your comm manager. it's only used for MS Exchange server and Outlook. Absolutely not necessary even if you do have outlook set-up and it eats a ton of battery since it's always checking the server for new messages.
