Hmm... well I closed the msn server (I don't use msn for anything, so it may have been trying to update something constantly). I seemed to have gotten decent battery life today with my normal usage (about 8hrs rather than ~5).

I am planning on getting the extended battery for days when I need to use it more and/or won't be able to plug it in. I noticed the extended battery is only $25 ($15 cheaper than the normal one) at Verizon. That's odd, isn't it?

Normally yes, but Moto knows that the battery life sucks, and has been offering the extended battery for cheap for the past few months.

When I got my Q they practically forced the extended battery into my hands! Laughing

I picked up an extended battery. With my normal usage, I now get about 12 hours to the battery instead of 8. I kind of like the extended battery cover, it does make it easier to hold onto. Might have to get one or two more extended batteries as long as they are cheap.

The extended battery is a must have item!

I'm still shocked at just how bad the Q is. What where they thinking. Rolling Eyes

I just wonder what kind of use testing is done before hand.
