I just got the Wing and cannot get the battery to last longer than 6 hours. I have most items turned off (beam, bluetooth, etc.) I've gone through the manual and adjusted all settings to optimize battery. Does anyone else have a problem with battery life or does anyone know of any solutions?

How new is the phone and how many time have you charged it? Also, how much are you playing with it, even with all that stuff turned off?

I bought the phone Saturday (6 days ago.) I took it back to the T-Mobile store Wednesday evening and they gave me a new battery. The newest battery doesn't make the phone perform much better than the original battery. I charge the battery overnight. It usually dies about 1:00 pm. It goes on the charger then for about 2 hours. During the workday, I read email (about 15 emails/day and talk for approximately a total of 20 minutes. I've used it as little as possible to see if it would last a whole day. It usually needs to be charged again about 7:00 pm. While on the charger, or after being charged, I have been playing with it to learn how it works and to see what it can do. Your thoughts?

I know it can take sometimes 10+ full charges before the battery starts performing at its normal potential. Have you fully charged it (not start charging it when there is still some left) at least 10 times yet?
