Well you shouldn't have to do all the work. Send it to me and I'll cycle it the last few times
After the third full charge/discharge cycle on my Seido 1750, my results are 23 hours. Put it in at 2pm Sunday, just pulled it out to charge with 4% battery left at 1pm Monday.
Now without saying I'm a medium or heavy user, because it's all subjective, I look at that as an improvement over the 1300's performance that came with the Droid Inc. I use my phone alot for data. Text, Email, constantly fooling around with apps, YouTube watching, Pandora and other occasional radio listening. I've played with Google maps, Google Sky, News/Sports/Weather aps frequent, Marketplace surfing, photo and video taking and a couple of phone calls. That's a normal day.
Plus, I do NOT disable any "animations" (it's part of the pfun of the pfone) and I leave the display on Automatic Brightness. Why go grab a cool phone only to disable the coolness for the battery sake?!
The original 1300 would not get me through the day. This, although by no means a two-day runner for me, at least will get me through a day without worry...especially since I now have battery backups too. Bottom line, if I use the phone to it's fullest...it's a hog of power.
