I get at least 26 hours of non-stop use, including a couple of hours of browsing, a couple to three hours of talking on the phone and plenty of emails. I heavily use the calendar (although I'm looking for a better alternative to the one that came with the phone!). I have set my seven POP3 email accounts set to receive every 20 minutes and receive/send about 40-60 or more emails in a 17 hour day (that's not counting the emails I delete immediately without reading). I've reset the download settings so that I can actually read most of the body of an email without having to download the message body. And the best part is that I can still rely on this as my primary contact phone number (because I don't always know where I'll be -- same reason for owning a smartphone to begin with) and now that I've fine tuned the Q (and switched over to a holster that doesn't allow the keys to EVER get touched accidentally), the battery life remains superb, no need to worry that I'll miss an important call or email.

Is this a registry hack that I've missed? Or a setting that didn't jump out at me? Please advise.

In Wireless Sync, I clicked on Inbox Settings and clicked on the truncate body option, then set it to to 3,000 characters. Previously it was set to 500 characters, which seems to have been the default that Verizon set it to.
I'm also REALLY ANNOYED that Verizon does NOT have TRUE Push email; if you set it to "push" you wind up waiting from 5-15 minutes. I have it set on 20 minutes now but it seems faster as I frequently have my laptop, destop and the Q on in the same room simultaneously for various purposes (mostly for synching and so forth).
I just like the idea that since I'm paying the same amount whether I have the whole message delivered to me, 500 characters, or only the subject line - why not just get the entire message (most times) and delete it if I'm not going to read it? It doesn't slow down anything IMO to have the entire message delivered, but can be a REAL annoyance having to download the body of an important email.

I found in the Registry \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs
a DWORD for POP3MaxLinesToDownload it was set for 5, I have changed it to 500. I'll have to see if this works. I didn't see a wireless sync app, but I may not have looked in the right place either.

Thanks for the review and the link with a black battery door. I've been hesitant on whether or not to buy one and have only seen the gray doors, but you've just convinced me. I figure if I'm going out anywhere where I need my phone to be exceptionally slim, I can always just put the regular battery in.

How about running another test on this 3200mah battery, with playing a video and streaming it... Im curious to know how long this thing would last. Anybody up for the challenge?

Anyone found a rubberized case for the 3200mah?
