Haha I can relate to this!

Don't have any solution for the keyboard, unfortunately.  (As I
mentioned, I'm using SlideIT and it works great).

Glad Heimdall is getting a good response from Israel... donated to that
too.  Was such a pleasure not to have to load up W7 in VirtualBox, it's
the only thing I've needed Windows for in a very, very long time.

Dude, 35 hrs is like... ridiculously good!  I hope you're not looking
for 3 days like we used to get with Nokia's from a smart phone.  Great
battery life for me is finishing the day with above 50%.  It was a
massive improvement over original Galaxy S use (with stock ROM) where
the battery would be dead in the middle of the day, and would have to
charge at work, etc.

Yeah I guess I have something similar called Juice Plotter.  I judge
battery life now based on how long it takes to discharge 10%.  Good = 4
hrs.  Bad = 1 hr.  That "good" was on my Galaxy S II though, but
sometimes it still gets "bad", still working things out here.
