I did not have this problem with my 6800, so I think I'm going to have to go back to it as it has the ability to pull the load. I think the issue might be the slightly worse reception the Omnia gets. I see that I'm spending more time in 1x and I know that burns through the battery fast. Oh well, perhaps they will update the firmware and that will fix it. I'd jump back in in a heartbeat, I love this phone.

Might involve a few extra bucks but a spare battery is only about $40 bucks, a Boxwave charging stand with spare battery charger $61 with shipping. It's not that hard to change a battery out. If you drive and have a car charger or carry your USB sync/charging cable you can recharge your phone while driving or at any computer (if it doesn't have ActiveSync, switch the type of USB connection on the phone to Mass Storage in the Connections, USB Mode applet).
I don't think a ROM update is going to fix a poorly designed antenna, if that's what the problem is. __________________
