My VZW Pre 2 is still on the stock kernel with webOS 2.1 loaded. I have a charger in the car so it's charged up when I get to work. Today, I read a few emails, read a word doc for about 20 minutes, checked twitter a number of times, and used the calculator off and on. A somewhat light day of use, yet, used none the less. I was also in a low signal area of the plant for about 30 minutes worth of the day. After 8.5 hours, I had just dropped from 70% to 69% battery left. This is pretty typical for a light day. On days when I surf on the phone and maybe play a game or two for 15 minutes, the phone will typically be between 60-65%. If I am in a the low signal strength area for a couple of hours, though little other use, my phone will go down to around 50-55%.
To clarify my settings, I have 3 email accounts, with one Road Runner account set at every 15 minutes, another set at 30 minutes, and a GMail account (not heavily used, but receives all my calendar notices) set to "As Arrives".
So you should be able to get through the day quite easily unless you are pounding away on the phone, which will drain any phone, including a BB (I had a Curve 8330, and if I surfed the web for an hour and played brick breaker for a half hour, I could eat 1 or 2 bars quite easily). So if you aren't getting that kind of battery life, then your phone has an issue (won't sleep, won't clock down, process running like mad in the background, bad battery...).
