Hi Nicky, Battery life is shocking. I have darkened the screen as far as it will go, and I even turn off voiceover when I'm not using the device. This goes some way to alleviating the problem. I've got into the habit of plugging it in whenever I'm near a power outlet or USB port. I use it rather a lot, particularly in terms of browsing the net, checking mail on the go, that sort of thing. One comment I'd make is that (aside from accessibility features) I find the O2 network to be (bluntly) sub-standard. They say it is a 3g network, but to be honest I find my phone dropping back to EDGE rather a lot. I hear better things about vodafone, but I don't know too much about their price plans as they compare to O2.
