I can only add that the Task Killer/manager app is "at your own discretion" type of thing. I've never used one and back in the battery quirk thread, I may have been one of the first to really do the battery drain/conditioning procedures. Since I did that, my phone battery life has been rock solid, over 18 hours off the charger at times with pretty moderate to heavy call (3 hours talk time a day sometimes) and farily constant data usage. I never turn off GPS or Wifi (don't use bluetooth), but I don't have any widgets running that call for the location services. I leave screen brightness on Auto though.
Over the past couple weeks, my meter has become more reliable, but not even close to perfect, but I've also learned that 15% battery reading generally means at least 2 more hours of continued use, not just standby time
I will say however that even the minute difference between the supplied charger at .7a compared to the standard .5a from a computer usb does seem to make a difference in that the .5a from the computer seems to just put a more complete charge on the phone. Also, it appears once a one does a top-off charge, it seems to take the charge better the next time from any charging source.
