She has a long list too.
It’s 1300 mAh. I agree entirely with you about a Desire needing a more serious battery.
The low power consumption was actually one of my reasons for picking the Wildfire, as I need to be contactable by work 24/365. You’d think, though, if that would go three days or more then surely a Desire should be good for 24 hours.
There are various widgets you can install, also, which put a button on the screen to turn wifi, auto-sync & so on off easily (though I’ve yet to find one which will also turn off background data and shut the wretched thing up completely).
I think I found it in the Sync menu by going through every single menu in turn to see what was in there. Tedious.
