hmmm, getting some awful battery drainage:
however, I think I have isolated the issue - could just be my cell signal (that's the radio, right?). checking CPUSpy, the phone was spending of it's time in the 384 MHz range rather than deep sleep. The exact same apps are installed that were installed yesterday, so not sure what is keeping the phone awake aside from just a poor cell signal. I have not experienced this kind of poor battery life since my Charge - and even that performed better.
perhaps I'm missing some tweaks somewhere, as others have claimed to have great battery life.
I would like this to be my new daily driver, but I can't at this rate.
