I feel like my battery life wasn't that great when I first got it but
now I think battery life is pretty good for this class of phone.

I think the largest change I made was: set display brightness to
adjust automatically.

After that I did a few things:
Gmail email is pushed
Not signed into Google Talk
Facebook refreshes as infrequently as possible (every four hours?)
I have Google Voice refreshing ever 15 minutes
Wifi is off, Locale turns it on when plugged in, and off when
unplugged
Bluetooth is always on

After making these changes things seemed, ok. but one night I wasn't
able to plug it in. It got to 5% at like 1am, I woke up the next day
at 8am or so, and it was still 5%. I then used Google Maps Navigation
for about 35 minutes and the phone died.

Since recharging it after that, battery state drops more realistically
like how I would expect it to drop. After a day of moderate use my
battery usually indicates I could go a whole extra day without any
recharging.

Also just got the 2.0.1 update which states improved battery life.
Unplugged my phone at about 8:30am this morning. it's 2:36pm now, and
my battery is at 90%. I've been using my phone a decent amount too.
