I've also noticed that the phone takes longer to charge via USB. Never thought there was a difference before.

Not sure what the reason exactly is but for the past 2 days my battery seems to last longer - like a FULL day!
Only difference is:
- I disabled the auto software update (settings>about phone> software update - uncheck Automatic Search
- I did not use Mediascape for more than 5mn
And am now getting about 12 hours even with wi-fi and GPS on all the time.

Ok so that answers my question. Takes me like forever to charge with USB.

my battery is fully broken in, and my phone was making it through 2 full days no sweat, so i was quite happy. over the last week, it has been barely able to make it to the 24 hour mark, and that was after hardly using it at all since i decided to revert to my old phone until SE releases an update that addresses the calibrated-for-ants call volume.
anyway, i was getting really pissed off since all of a sudden, my battery would drain by about 30 to 35% from roughly 1 am to 730 am while on standby, with wifi, BT and 3G switched off! i reviewed all my installed apps, made sure i killed apps i wasn't using and double-checked all my settings.
finally, in my Location settings, i saw that, while my GPS was disabled, i had left the option to check location via wifi checked. i did that about a week ago when i installed Layar, which is quite cool BTW. i unchecked the wifi location option, fully charged my phone last night and checked it this morning.
by unchecking that simple setting, my overnight battery drain was back to its 2 to 3% so now i am happy once again! this solution may or may not help some of you, but it's worth a try.

Did it yesterday ... still drained about 56 to 60% battery life.

My issue might have been resolved. I installed
"Task Panel" and
Killed Moxier Mail, Voice Dialer, Play Now, Face Recognition, VZnet along with downloaded apps that I used once but they continue to play in back ground.
Also turn facebook update to 3 every hours.
Its been an hour and a half and only 3% of battery has been drained.
Also make sure to tap "Kill All background apps" before turning off the phone.
Enjoy!

Nice to hear the battery update is only a few weeks away. Once this gets 2.1 it will be even better although 2.2 is meant to be coming out later this year, should SE just skip 2.1 and go straight to that?

If the fix comes in few weeks its a great news.
Update on my task panel: 15 mins to 4 hrs and only 7% battery has been consumed without much usage.

About 20 hrs into
Task Panel controlled battery usage and only 35% battery consumed. I am guessing the phone will make it through even tomorrow. & with electric charger the phone charges pretty rapidly

Well, like all the others on here I too have had the frustrated issues with the battery consumption (full charge lasting maybe 6 hours?) I had everything enabled though (WiFi, GPS, etc. etc. etc.) updates every 15minutes or whatever the fastest one was. I am new to Android OS and eventually got TaskPanel. Last night I disabled GPS, put all updates on at least 1 hour if not 3 hours, and killed off all tasks with 50% battery and went to bed around 12a. Got up at 9a and had 10% battery remaining. Since then I put it on the charger kept the GPS off and let her charge all the way up via the socket. I then took my phone off charge probably took maybe 3 hours to fully charge? I took it off charger probably around 12p and had minimal useage all day. I have played with a few apps such as the camera, Facebook, checked texts and e-mails when they came through. The current time is 10:15p and I have 50% battery life remaining! I believe something is messed up with the radio waves and GPS for the batteries to be faulting. Anyways, there's my results. Give it a try and maybe it'll help you out.
Cheers.
EDIT: P.s I have only had my phone since May 5th and been through maybe 3-5 recharge cycles in that time period (from the initial drain of 70% battery or whatever came on it). Hopefully my battery will gain more juice with more battery cycles.
