I ran the battery fully down on thursday, to condition it properly(supposedly with all new mobile battery's, you need to fully charge and discharge them 3 times to get max power from the battery). When I was trying to kill it below 10%, it would not die, even with wifi, bluetooth, youtube etc, it took ages to fully deplete.
It is a great phone, and battery life is not as bad as people think(there is a program I heard of on XDA where you can switch the phone to airplane mode overnight and switch back on the next morning, which will save a lot of battery.
If you want a windows mobile(or windows phone as microsoft now call the OS), this is the best phone out there. It should also be upgradeable to windows mobile 7 next year. The size of the phone makes it a lot easier to type and it is a gorgeous looking phone. I used to have a kaiser/tytn 2 and didn't think I'd be able to manage easily without a hardware keyboard, but typing on the large screen is easy.
