As always, the more services you turn on, such as location services or data services, the more battery will be used. This is a basic thing for all phones.

 

The dual core processor is probably not helping. I have a charger at work, so I don't have issues. I like to stream and downlod big stuff while on 3G (I am grandfathered in the unlimited data plan).

I am too, and it's going to be a truly awful day if (when?) they take it away. Hopefully their new "slow down the top 5%" will be enough so they don't feel the need to take it away.
