"my phones usually last quite a long time without the screen turned on."

It's important to remember that this isn't just because the display is off - it's also because the device is in a low power state. Try having an app running with the screen turned off - it also doesn't last too long.

It's be interesting to see what % of the battery usage is due to JUST the screen. If anyone has any stats, please post!
