all i can offer here is an anecdotal suggestion, but i read in another thread on these forums about the battery. keep in mind i do not know the specifics of batteries so hopefully someone who does can jump in and potentially take my foot from my mouth, but...

what i remember reading is that there are two types of batteries, ones that do better after a few full discharges and recharges, and others that are otherwise "stable". the theory presented in this other thread is that this phone uses the former, so after a few days of use draining the battery, and potentially (depending on your use) draining it to 0% and recharging, your battery will last longer.

again, i have *no* idea if this is true, and i can't find the post, but i definitely read that on here somewhere. so it might be related to that, just that we've all had the phones a while now and the time to fully discharge them in many cases.

in any event, my battery is doing much, much better today and yesterday than it did the first week. i doubt it's related to an OTA update, perhaps we're just using them less heavily now that the "toy" factor has worn off?

sorry for any potentially incorrect information, feel free to jump in and correct or link to the other thread that i can't currently find.
