I honestly don't know what happened.  My battery was fine for months.  I don't know if it's a series of apps I installed, or the Froyo update, or some combination thereof, but I am just dying to see my battery life drop 10+% each hour no matter what I do (even if I leave the phone alone -- in 3G or WiFi mode). 

I've downloaded so many apps to try to diagnose what the source of the drainage is... to no avail.

What can I do?  The phone ends up being dead by 6PM every day, even if I don't even use it!

I am a bit concerned about hard reset, because I don't know how to back up all of the linkages in my contacts, bookmarks, etc.  I'm not rooted.

Any info/advice greatly appreciated. 
Thx.
Jon

I am having the same issue and I think it is due to applications that are constantly running now, that didn't run before the update. I am using my task killer all day long and my battery never lasts a day now. It used to last for one to two days and I use the phone for work. I can't seem to find any information on how to kill the running apps long term. On the old firmware once you killed them they stayed dead until you used them again. Apps are running on my phone now that I never even use.
