I don't think I am having any problems with mine either. I'm at 6 hours 20 minutes and 1 day 22 hours of standby time and I have around 25 percent left
Usage Patterns
For me, I can go almost two days between charges with pretty heavy usage. This basically means i need to charge each night. If the battery isgood for 3-400 charges, this gives me about two years of life.
Hopefully someone will come out with a clean backpack battery soon- I know a lot of people can't rely on charging every day.

Not sure what to make of mine...totally charged....was at work on Friday from 5am to 1pm and was at 20%..with basically 30 minutes of calls and 3 hours of ipod...no video no text and that was my usage....
I am hoping this gets better with time...I used the phone about 30 minutes on average a day for calls...222 minutes through july 5th...maybe 3 hours for ipod and 30 minutes internet-that is a high estimate and I have been on red at the end of each day....could it be that I am pausing the ipod and its still running? I would have thought that when you are off the ipod it stops even if it is pausing-being there is no other way to stop it-or is there and I am just missing it?
Additionally, is the same thing happening with safari-is it still running in the background even if you are not using it?
I have had my wifi and blue tooth off since I got the phone...
am I having battery issues?
Today I have made one call for 15 minutes, listened to three songs and searched one page on the net-manually got my email( that is the setting I have it on) and I am being told I have 2 hours and 15 minutes of usage(and counting)-huh? and on stand by for 5 hours and 41 minutes since my last full charge-I think I have about 80% left on the battery-roughly....
AM I having battery issues? because I seem to have to charge at least once a day with medium phone usage....
Can anyone enlighten me or am I too confusing?
