Re: Droid battery life
Yes, smart phones run through battery life considerably faster than older phones. The little bar phone I had before my smart phone couldn't even run games. It needed to be charged only once a week. You will not find a smart phone yet that doesn't need charging every night. (My husband keeps a USB charger in his computer at work, so that his phone is plugged in as often as he's at his desk.)
I used to have an app to manage my stuff, but now, when I get up in the morning, I go to "manage applications", check the "running applications" tab, and turn off anything and everything that needs turning off.
In addition to bloatware, a lot of the apps I love (Nook, for instance) don't have kill or quit switches. So they continue to run in the background, a week after you last used them, until you "force close" either with an app manager app, or the "manage applications" option.
