Is it just my Z10 or are they all essentially just a must be tethered to working power "not so mobile" phone

Question

Here's the chronology of my phone day that started at 7:15 and ended with the phone completely dead at 10:30 sharp.  Obviously, this is not nearly desirable for a phone:
Unplugged from charger with 100% batt 7:15am. 
7:30. 85% batt only wrote a memo entry for 1-2 mins.
7:45 phone was dormant screen off the entire past interval. 80 % battery
7:52 after 5 min phone call batt at 75% Note trying to make call took 52 second for phone to populate names associate with numbers on frequently called list (i.e. stored address book entries weren't showing as such and just showing number, not the name). 
Updated memo with battery after phone call for 2 min battery @ 70 %. Phone acting like dumb terminal where you type faster than processor can handle and where auto correct really mangled stuff because of the inability for the processor to act normal.
8:43. checked battery status after 45 min motorcycle ride with phone in trunk no missed calls 5 new emails, battery down to 55%.
5 min Internet browsing then meeting 8:55-10:11 left phone at desk (not plugged in). 2 missed calls and 5 emails.  Battery down to15%.
Stepped away from desk for 2 phone calls 8 min and 5 min. Phone turned off 3 second after plugging into charger at just before 10:30.
Basically the phone with the Blackberry supplied charger takes longer to charge than to deplete the battery. 
I've been a 7+ year Blackberry fan, but this $550 device feels like a bad letdown.  It's not acceptable as a work phone.  And I spend enough time away from a power source that if anything bad happens, (accident, car failure, etc, I have no way to call for help.)  This phone is a tragedy.  How many people are like me, less than 2-3 months into the new phone and looking at switching.  I've loved the traditional Blackberry usability and consider myself a total poweruser.  Now that I've been forced to learn Androidisms courtesy of the new Blackberry OS, Blackberry has already trained me to just get a real Android....
Is there hope, or is this what it's going to stay like?  Life's too short for a phone that is this inadequate.  Is it just this device, or are all Z10's like that?   Calling Blackberry support, they are resigned, not helpful, and there is no movement to switch out my device or otherwise fix things, which implies problems are systemic rather than fixable at the device level.
Thanks!

That is not normal.
remove SD card and see if battery life improves, if it does then backup the data on it and format it in the device and move items back.
Remove emails accounts one at a time and see if battery life improves.
I have 6 email accounts, face book and twitter and mine will last 12 hours or more depending on how much I use it.
