Ok, mobile tech 101...
All current mobile wireless devices draw power dynamically. Bluetooth interferes with Wifi... if you have both on, your phone will eat more power than needed to compensate for dropped packets. Not a phone defect, it's inherent in the conflict between WiFi and Bluetooth. Wifi is more prone to signal dropouts when BT devices are present or on.
The weaker your GSM/3G, Wifi, BT signal is... the more power your device will consume.
Multiple hotspots in one area cause interference as well. If you are in a crowded hotspot zone, your device will be requesting repeat packets more often.
LCD screen backlight drains more power than an actual call or transmitter power per minute of use. Lower screen brightness by 10% can improve standby time significantly. I'm running my P1i at 30% brightness and I'm fine with the visibility of the display. I get 3 full days of standby time (I charge my phone around 10pm of the 3rd night and I have about 11% battery left) with about 20 min of WiFi use everyday, 150 SMS, and maybe 20min of calls.
I've drained a fully charged batt in 3 hours of WiFi surfing... and had 3 full days (I probably could've gone to 3.5 days but I didn't wanna push it) of standby time. My P910i gave me 2 days, the P1i gives me and extra day...under heavier use.
For all that it offers... I'm very happy with the over-all performance of the P1i. It may have it's shortcomings (I intend to use the phone for one more week before giving my full brutal review) but I can live with the shortcomings of the P1i more that the other hybrids out there.
And so far, I feel that more than the features of a hybrid... most people should see if they can live with the limitations of the device.

Of course any data connections will quickly drain your battery, especcialy wifi. Its obvious for me, but my problem is that wifi once used, it seems to be still ON, even when i swith it back off (disable) and close web application, but it getting warm in the back as wit the wifi running... i just installed new firmware. Maybe that will help.

..sounds serious. But.. since the wifi isn't always on, it's at least possible to rule out hardware- fault (with the electronic switches). And since some of the settings for the wifi- implementation (and the connection manager, I think) was put in the resource folder, and not in a protected area - my guess would be that some setting installed with a 3rd party app on a previous firmware is causing problems by lying around somewhere on the mem- stick. (...probably, the safest method is to backup everything - that's not installed, anyway - on the mem- stick, and then reformat it).
