Just a quick update, I know it sounds odd but I seem to be getting more battery life after that setting change. Normally I get just over a day from the Samsung battery, after the last 2 full charges ive been getting around 1 day 14hrs, I use the phone quite a bit for browsing as well etc

Mine arrived yesterday and so far so good. A lot bigger than my iphone 4 but seems just as fluid and quick. Still early day's but looking like a decent handset so far.
