Here's my update:

I did do a restore, but I used the back up.

Usage - 1:58
Standby - 1 day, 14 hrs

My battery is at about 45-50%.

I'm still not sure if the restore did any good.

I'd say that is pretty good. I would also think that the type of use matters, if it is 5hrs of use while the screen is on vs 5hrs use of ipod with screen off.

As for me, my first look at the battery after my restore was disapointing, but I did a reboot and left off for 5 minutes and now it is looking much better. Currently:

Usage:4h25m (1hr Ipod, rest phone, SMS, surfing...)
Stand: 2d3hrs
Bright: 60% Auto Bright on
Wifi: 70% On
Battery at 45%

On and aside...Using the Battery Info App, kinda cool cause it gives percentage, but after I run it the Settings screen delays for 4 seconds, kinda annoying
 
count me in...

I also experienced battery drop...

I don't use the phone very much:

Usage: 50 min
Standby: 2 Days, 16 Hours

Remaining: 20% or so...

I used to have a standby time around 4 days...

man...I am confused if it is me or it is a battery issue

Do a restore not from back up and see the changes. As noted by others and myself, made a big difference. Your usage times are terrible!

Mine now: 3:33 Usage, 2d Standby bat at 40% about 2x what I was getting before restore

What's that app's name? And from what source? I can't find it and would really appreciate to have more detailed batteryinfo.

You're getting 2 days standby time with 50 mins of use? My standby time is only 24 hours with very minimal use.
 
Mine seems decent....i think.....

4hrs talk
1hr BBC iPlayer (Streaming Video with full bright screen)
29 mins iPod commute with 85% volume and variable EQs

3 days 16 hrs standby

Wi-Fi always on with 'ask before joining' turned off

30% brightness with auto-brightness turned on

.....Before complete death
 
My stats again.

My 20% warning came up and this is what I had:

3:35 usage
3 days, 15 hrs standby.

This includes at least 20 hrs in airplane mode, no WiFi, no Bluetooth.

I am considering another restore, not from back up. Thoughts?

I'd say do it. What apps you installing? Are you turning SSH off and Edge (if your not using it) with Boss Prefs?

Just did a clean restore, will see if anything improves
 
well, it turns out that the clean restore did bring SIGNIFICANT improvement.

now I am having

Usage 2 Hrs, 27 Mins
Standby 7 Days, 10 Hrs

with wifi off, bt off, auto-mail-check off
 
battery life?

I haven't had mine long enough to really know what's what, but one of the first things I was told is to go to Breakstone and buy a battery operated charger and have it with me all the time. It takes 2 AA's and is very compact and light, one set of batteries will charge it 2 or 3 times. I was going on a long flight and then a long drive to my destination and I wanted to be sure. I haven't needed it yet, but it makes me feel safe..I'd hate to be stuck somewhere without it!

PS I do read

Ya but who can not use their phone for 7 days. 2.5 hours out of 7 days... I could never leave my phone alone for that long ;).

My phones battery is still doing super since my restore, highly recommend for anyone waiting/thinking about it
