Hi David,
I had the same reason for swap to QTmoko from SHR some weeks before. I 
found it very stable and usable. Thanks to all developers.
My standby times vary - but usually without touching it it's somewhere 
around 24 hours and probably more.
I am on the way to play with that deep sleep of GSM modem and can share 
my findings (I do not have deep sleep enabled yet).
