really? Is that the same PR 1.2 that we are getting, or do they perchance have their own FW releases, IE their PR 1.2 might be what we get as 1.1?

That is not good.
I think battery life is very dependent on the user and activity and setup etc.
For example, on my n900 i can get 2days battery with no battery patch or cssu or anything. just disable wifi, put to 2.5g and i still make calls and txt and browse the web frequently. when i messed about with different alpha/beta applications installed and and have it in 3g constant with the same usage it needs charging at night. i think the best thing to do when you have battery drain is to trial and error what you have done, enabled, added, changed etc. every time i've had battery issues it's generally turned out to be related to me and how i'm using it etc and with a little tweaking i'm sorted. Alot of services running like twitter, email. facebook etc constantly checking, with geo tracking etc will vampire that battery. i'd start with the event feed and see whats constantly pinging for updates etc. check the application settings for your accounts etc. try with them off, some off someone etc. lets us know what you find if you pin down your battery drain as other people may be in the same boat as you.
I am slowly turning off functionalities - although left the haptic feedback on as i'm lost without it (it really is quite good).
Anyway today i've had a much better result from the nightly charge. It's been 12 hours so far (charged for 10 mins during the day as I was using it in mass storage) and I have 42% left. I've spent 20 mins on a phone call, a few text messages, music for 30 mins, no web browsing, no videos. Wifi has been on the whole day (working from home) - so this makes me think 3G might be a culprit here. Anyway to switch to 2G?

If you have it on dual it probably sucks even more battery trying to locate either signal. but I usually keep mine on GSM only for background related material. Only when I actively surf do i switch to 3g.

Email does indeed take up alot of battery life. I have 3 email accounts set up and I have dropped them to 1hr schedule and it really helped. The battery can be very good I have to admit, it def depends on usage.
If I have email sync off, its amazing almost like it uses no battery.

The reason you ask?
Because when the webpage takes 8 minutes to load it is nothing but a white screen displaying and you all know what a white screen does on a amoled.

Who was the genius that decided a white screen needed to be the standard loading screen in a web browser?
Some heritage out of the monochrome era sabotaging our phones (and eyes)?
