Had to be something wrong with your MDA. I'm on the phone at least 2hrs a day, BT on all the time, grabbing mail for at least 5 mins using GPRS every 30mins, use the PDA functions for about 30mins during the day and have yet to see the battery drop below 70%. I'm in rural Maine most of the time with crappy signals on 850MHz so you can bet that the phone is running full power most of the time too.
