From the research I have done on this is that the battery itself does not so much build a memory, it is more an issue of calibrating the internal battery meter of the phone. For instance it says the battery is at half when really it is still at 3/4. This is accomplished by letting the phone die even though it is screaming to be plugged in. Basically you let the phone see what a dead battery looks like and by charging it to 100% and continuing to let it charge at least 2 hrs more it now knows what a full battery looks like. Therefore it will more accurately report the battery condition. Seams to have worked for me to a certain extent however I am still killing the battery by the time I get home. It is frustrating when I go out after work and people want to see my new phone and all it does and the thing is almost dead or dies while the play with it. I am asking for an updated battery from www.fommy.com for Christmas. The reviews state you can get a couple more hours out of it. If anyone already has one post up what you think about it.
