In half an hour I took a fifth of the battery. With everything turned off. Even if there was some residual background stuff we missed, that is not acceptable performance. It wasn't flash, it wasn't fancy HTML5 demos, it wasn't even super-complex pages... it was regular web use. Sites like reddit, this site, my tumblr, etc. Some twitter on the side.
I agree the performance is totally unacceptable, and I'm actually trying to sell the Evo. I just wanted to mention that turning off background data transfer helped a lot for me and made the phone at least moderately usable while I find a buyer.
