Scheduled synchronization is one of the best ways to optimize your Treo Pro battery. Wireless ActiveSync uses data, which means that the Pro is spending power by using its wireless modem to connect to the Internet, even if you don't have new emails or other data. To help save power you should set the interval to automatically download email to every 2 hours or longer.2
When the Pro's screen is on, the battery powers the smartphone's bright display. You need to set Screen Brightness to a dimmer setting to save some energy. To do this you simply Press Option and then press P. Then on the 5-way, press Left to decrease the brightness. 3
You can also screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity to optimize the phone's battery life.4
The Treo Pro uses power when searching for a signal if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, or very poor coverage. Top save power, temporarily turn off your phone until you have moved to an area of better coverage. 5
The Treo Pro has a Bluetooth feature which uses a wireless radio. This feature consumes battery power when sending or receiving information. Disable the Bluetooth feature especially to save power.6
Watching a movie and recording movies on your Smartphone both use processor power, which in turn uses battery power more intensely than other activities. Spend less time playing video files or recording movies to save battery power.

Man this phone is great all the features I required in a smart phone, absolutely everything I needed, unfortunately the battery life sucks, full charge in morning and by 2:00 PM with normal business usage it's dead, the tips to conserve battery life do work however it make it so inconvenient that the phone is more of a pain than a useful tool, very disappointed in this phones performance battery wise.
