That sucks(pun intended). I get closer to 18 hours from my 2100Mah
batts...
I usually don't use the backlight though. And using the wireless setup
or ethernet is a hit to the battery also, as is dialing in (not that I
don't much of that).
My 18 hour figure is mostly from using the address book and reading
stuff offline(about 20% backlight on).
Although you can use Mail V to check your mail every 5 minutes via
wireless to see how quick a batt really bites it. I have it setup to
read my mail about 5 minutes before I have Alarm Clock set to wake me.
Keep it green.
