I sent the replacement back the same day it arrived.

Any chance your battery issue was simply a problem indexing a bunch of content? I know I was terribly disappointed in battery life for the first few days I owned it. Since then, after it finished indexing the hundred or so books I dropped on it (and turning 3G off when I'm not using it) I've had fantastic battery performance.
