Hi there
I was thinking - Why dont we start a thread about the typical battery time on a MBP doing certain things
2010MBP - 2 month old - Only Safari, and Mail open --> Brightness 50%, Keyboard Backlight Off --> 8-9 hours
Your turn ;)

My question
2010MBP - 2 month old - Full Brightness, Full Keyboard Light, CDMA modem, ?? Hours?

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
