Battery Life on the Palm Pre

I have read some reports that the Palm Pre battery life is quite poor. Indeed one report stated that the user had gone to bed with the phone fully charged but had woken up to find it dead.

Out of interest I noted the following:-
1) Battery charge at 87% at 10.30 pm.
2) Battery charge at 66% at 6.30 am.

Now, I can't explain why people are experiencing bad battery performance in every case but I would suggest the following.

1) If you don't need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on during the night the turn them both off.
2) Unless you deem it absolutely necessary, there is no need to synchronise with your configured mail accounts every 15 minutes during the night. I have set mine to 6 hours for the night-time period.
