Don't know about the SMS time problem but the battery life issue is a classic.
First of all, your battery isn't going to reach its optimum capacity until it's been through 3 or 4 complete charge/discharge cycles.
Secondly, you want to make sure no applications are running in the background while you're not using your N95 before laying the blame entirely with the phone.
