Check you settings for email if you are not using a push service such as @me or Microsoft Exchange. Make sure it is set to fetch the mail on manuel otherwise it will drain the battery quick. My only other suggestion is to do a full restore and not off back up you might have a memory leak somewhere in the phone that is causing this to happen. I had this issue with a 1st gen iPhone. Also you might want to send it in to Apple as it might have a short somewhere in the battery or the soldering points might have come loose during heavy use. Have you been noticing it has gotten warm? that would be a sign if it has been getting extremely hot

Hello,
I already have push set to off and manual. Also, i have noticed that my phone does get slightly warm during the day. I cant take it to apple since i live in the UAE and a friend got it for me from the US. As, for a full restore, im not sure i want to do, as i have a lot of music, contacts and videos on my phone. Any other ideas?

I thought the whole POINT of push was that it used less battery than fetching. That's why it was invented.

All this media doesn't exist on your computer too?

It does, but i guess i will wait for winpwn 3.0 to come out and then i will restore back to 2.1 again...

Sounds like a bad battery. Take it back.
