How long does your battery last?
My battery is usually down to around 20% or less at the end of a day. This happens even with zero phone calls. Right now, at 5pm (with zero calls and very little use) after starting at 100%, it is at 52% and by 10pm it will be down to 20 or below. I am using ChatterEmail with an IMAP server and this stays on from 7am till 7pm.
I've only had my Treo for a short time so maybe this is normal, but my BlackBerry (which I gave up for this) would get charged once a week.
Is this pretty much the same for everybody?

With average use (primarily as a phone & PIM, and little photo viewing/music playing) I'm getting about 4 days between charges. I should track it by hours but it's not worth it right now. Your battery life is certainly below avg. Does ChatterEmail constantly ping for new messages?
There are varoius battery utilities, but Battery Meter can give real-time battery usage information. I'd be curious to see if battery consumption drops when ChatterEmail is idle.
