First 'normal' day with the Pre today, and in summary battery life was better than I feared, but not as good as I hoped.
Came off charge at 0730, and was down to 5% when I got home at 2030, so 13 hours. In that time I haven't made many calls (~5 mins) but have read and sent maybe 10 emails, surfed the web for half an hour, and messed around for maybe 15 mins (mainly showing other people how it works).
I'm syncing with an Exchange server and Google Apps account every 15 mins, and have been running on 3G all day - no Wifi at work. I know people say to leave Wifi on, but I couldn't because there is a Wifi network at work which is 'open' but then needs a password via a browser to work... and my password expired today. Upshot was the Pre connected but couldn't do anything, and wouldn't revert to 3G unless I turned Wifi off. GPS also turned off, by the way.
I'm hoping for a bit of improvement as the battery beds in, and also once we get the 1.2.1 / 1.3 update. In the meantime, I can stick it on charge for an hour half way through the day and it'll be fine - I'm used to poor battery life from previously owning an HTC Touch Diamond, on which the battery life was actually pretty similar, as a comparison.
