Droid X New Owner problems

I'm going to try the master reset route and hope that fixes it, if not, I'm going to exchange it. If that doesn't work, my Blackberry is getting re-activated.
I appreciate all the suggestions. But if the answer to this does come down to having to not use any push features, setting longer intervals for syncs and data, etc., then I no longer understand the allure of Android. My Blackberry was delivering all my emails from all 5 accounts, all Facebook notifications(including posts to my wall) instantly to my single inbox, with gps always left on, a minimum of a an hour of web browsing, probably 30 mins to an hour of Google maps using the gps(more if I forgot to close it), and 1-2 hours of phone per day, and leaving me with at least 60% after 10 hours off the charger.
So I probably need to be asking if that same usage is possible with a Droid X. I'd even be happy with 30-40% battery left.
If that doesn't sound within the realm of reason, then please let me know, because then I'll just have to delay my transition to Android and stick with BB for now.
 
Ok, I did the factory reset.
As of right now, I only have 1 gmail account setup, and am logged in to the facebook and twitter apps.
Weird thing is, I got the phone charged up to 30% before the reset, since the reset I've been messing with it nonstop and it's holding at 40%.
So before I go adding work email, yahoo, and hotmail, do I use an app, the my accounts, or email?

Edit:
As soon as I logged it to Twitter, I set the interval to 4 hours. And my battery quickly disappeared. Is there a known Twitter issue?

I thought I was only logging in to the Twitter app, but when I do, it then shows up under My Accounts.
The battery seems a little better after the reset. Now the screen usually shows up as the biggest user, with Android System about 10% and Android OS down to 5%. But, twice I've gotten some kind of glitch where the battery manager won't open and it gives me a force close. I added a shortcut on a homescreen to where it shows battery usage, and it'll do the exact same force close. The only way to fix it is to reboot. Then this morning it wasn't connecting for data in addition to the battery force close, so I had to reboot. Everything seems to be working right now, but it's only been off the charger since 8am, with no data usage(because I didn't realize the connection problem until 10am, and I'm now down to 80%. I'll see how it holds for the rest of the day.
Right now I only have the 1 gmail account set up, the Facebook app(set to refresh every hour), Twitter(set to refresh every 4 hours, and notifications only on mentions or direct messages), Yahoo Fantasy Football, Google Sky and Street View, and the Yahoo Mail App(not set up), and the Verizon Star Wars App(the free one), I'm running the dark steel with rivets plain wallpaper, and the only widgets that are left on any of my homescreens are the switches(gps, wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, all turned off) and the calendar.

I'm wondering if I have a problem with the battery, or the phone hardware that deals with the battery, because of the battery manager force closes.

But I'm going to see how it performs today, then I may try re-adding my email accounts if it does well.

Any thoughts?
 
It's now 2 hours later with zero usage and I'm down to 50% battery. Android OS is the number one user at 91%, the display is at 4%, phone idle at 2%, cell standby at 2%, and Android System at 2%. I guess it must round the percentages, because that adds up to 101%.
In case I didn't mention, I'm on Max Battery Saver profile, and no, I don't have a task killer.
 
Did you download spare parts like I said above? Im pretty sure your phone is not going into sleep mode, and running 100% of the time. It is most likely an application or the gps bug.
 
Well, apparently it was a defective phone. I took it back to the Verizon store and they couldn't get it to work right with any battery. So I've got a new phone and battery and I still haven't managed to drain it. Thanks again for all the help.
