There are other complaints on the 8830's battery life as well if you search.

Your not going to notice it if you dont browse or do HEAVY email, but those of us that do will hate 3G and the lower battery life.
This is most likely due to CDMA devices having a shorter battery life than GSM devices as CDMA devices are constantly searching for the network even while idle.
