I have been using this phone for almost a week, and I sorta knew battery life is bad, but not this bad. I can barely get 6 hours on a full charge. I have read up on this and found some tips and tricks, but nothing that has really helped. I just installed task killer. I have one exchange account that I have set to receive messages as they arrive. My comcast checks every half hour. I have a Pandora widget, as well as the HTC calender widget, which syncs with my Outlook exchange account. I turnoff wifi, bluetooth and gps when not using. I don't have too many other things syncing, and I do not use a ton. I am not sure what else I can do. This phone is incredible, except for the battery life. I could atleast get through the day on my Storm 2.
