Ah, cheers. Be nice if there was a way of comparing battery life easily in phones.

Personally I think if you can get to 18-20 hours with fairly heavy usage then the battery life isn't an issue (which looks like the case here).

Qft. No real easy way to compare usage. 9H of on time I'd put at pretty heavy usage.

I guess some of the reduced battery life is inevitable if theres more stuff going on in the background.

If the phone is uploading a lot of stuff up to the cloud, communicating with Siris servers or just letting backgrounded tasks do a little more then the battery is going to take a bit of a hit.

I have an Android tablet, lots of apps want to run background and stay connected, I'm always in an app manager shutting things off, didn't help wife loaded Ebay and Facebook mobile apps on it either :(..
