Just to update this earlier post... I went about 40 more minutes with the phone at 5% battery before it finally just flat shut off. I restarted it and got another 10 minutes with the battery at 3% before the phone just shut off for good.
I don't think it's battery life as much as the way the phone is reading the battery levels. I took my phone off charger today before work and talked probably about an hour total, did a few emails (gmail as normal and email app syncs every hour). Ran GPS trying to figure out my GPS bug, probably ran it for 40 minutes or so total, browsed android market and then surfed the forums for at least and hour and 15 minutes tonight before the phone finally ran out juice.
I too had a touch pro, battery life on that was horrid at first or so it seemed. I never let the phone run down to absolutely nothing, well beyond the warnings. I seem to recall no issues though after a couple charge/discharge cycles. I do remember an issue or two after I got the expanded battery from seidio though, the phone didn't seem to calculate properly the extra capacity or however the meter is guaged for a couple days, then it seemed accurate.
