These "power packs" are a pretty decent way of handling potential emergency situations. The only thing I didn't like so much about the one on VZW that you are talking about is that it was only ~1400mAH. I'd prefer larger. But, I'm sure you can find a larger one if you surf around.

I also saw one on the web (somewhere!) that allowed you to use a couple of double-A batteries to power/charge your phone. Pretty cool for emergencies I think.

Personally, I've ordered the fatty-daddy Extended batteries.

I'd advise against any 3rd party task killer. They really aren't needed especially in Froyo, and they can make your phone do weird things. Your phone is its best task killer. ;p

I have been getting great battery life from mine... coming from the incredible as my last phone.. this one is about 50-75% better battery life.

Yesterday was a light day usage wise and after about 15 hours I was at 51% still. I can live with that any day!

After some more playing around... I was on wifi most of the day... and after running today on 3g only I experienced less battery life. After about 8 hours or so with med usage I was at about 43% which is more on par.

So if you can turn on wifi to save battery for data.
