I got my Axim last week and so far the battery life has been the best I've seen with a Pocket PC. I have a wireless network card, and I used it one day for 3.5 hours on-and-off, full backlight, etc, and it never went below 95%. Keep in mind that it wasn't under constant usage, but my friend and I (who both have the same model) have noticed very good life. Check over on Brighthand too to read some opinions.
