eDGe Idle "battery used by cell radio" (15h 1m 15s): 87%
eDGe Idle "battery used when phone is idle" (14h, 1m, 4s): 12%
Dispplay (59m) 2%
So I guess that covers 101% of my battery usage. I like how the PE has two entries for "eDGe Idle", and both of them refer to a cell phone.
For the bulk of this time, I was using it for reading, but I did pop it on a few times to connect usb and transfer files. I also connected it for a wifi for a few minutes to synchronize email and Flick Note (android app for Simple Note, very useful).
This is better than I was seeing up until this point. It's not as good as alex_edge's "5 days between charges" though. I would be happy with 2 days though. Hopefully it just needs more draining and recharging to get back up to snuff.

It sounds as though you are using yours far more heavily than I did in those 5 days. As I had said in that post, I was reading on the ink side (tablet off) about 1.5 hours per day, and did perhaps a maximum of 20 mins of tablet-based stuff per day. But I have been really impressed with battery conservation in hibernation mode: I am not exaggerating when I say I only lose about 2% of battery power overnight when hibernating.
