That said, I'll be keeping Handcent as it is a sweet little program.
sometimes it takes lithium-Ion batteries a while to caliberate...
Remember to practice good charges cycles by never letting your phones battery charge dip below 20% (as much as possible at least)
alot of people think its better to discharge fully and recharge
This is Misinformation. The NIMH batteries and Nickel-Cadmium batteries these days. and i frequently hear Customer service reps and sales people tell customers this Misinformation and thus has perpetuated the myth.

Keeping your battery cool also increases its life. The more heat the more damage to the Battery and other parts of the phone. in normal casual use a battery will degrade in 4-24 months depending on how well its charged and how good of care is kept (moisture free, desireable temp.charge cycles,proper chargers.ECT)
Hope this helps you
