Well, I noticed that the Verizon 700p had a larger appetite for power than my old GSM 650. That's why I got the Seidio battery. With that battery it seemed to me to be just about even with the old 650 in terms of life. I charge the thing fully every night.

I can vouch for Don's predicament. Even in areas with good coverage & Seidio's 3600mah extended battery, I can barely last a day of normal usage. Any use of the speakerphone is catastrophic. Having come from the 650 the 700p is a battery hog, and it appears that Verizon & Treo are well aware of it. At the store another customer was complaining about the same issue.
