Hi all (*waves*), I too have discovered just how quickly the battery 
drains in my Neo (I also wondered how I managed to 'brick' my new toy by 
just leaving it overnight :)

Do we know who is co-ordinating the power management side of things? The 
Wiki isn't very forthcoming apart from this page:

...which appears to be mostly edited by Speedevil.

I would be happy to help as I am keen to use the Neo during the day to 
show off to my colleagues at work (in BT), and make progress towards it 
being a reliable day-to-day phone for myself.

Cheers,
Phlash.
