To improve battery life, turn off sync or increase gaps between syncs, disable background data if you don't sync, turn off location awareness if you don't need it, certainly turn off gps, use 2g or wifi and not 3g, dim the screen, reduce the 'time to blank' setting, turn off vibrate, use a black desktop wallpaper, reduce the number of installed and running apps, install a custom rom and underclock it the cpu.
Or use it flat out and just have a charger at home and work or a spare battery.
2hr battery life is bollocks. I just timed mine and got something like 47 hours from charge with 6 hours active. That's with most stuff off, twitter updates, alarms some calls.
I ran it with the GPS on during a walk in London and it lasted about 6-7 hours. DHD btw not Samshit.
