I bet even money those folks seeing an increased battery drain also have newer apps / settings / configurations that were not there before that are eating a lot more battery power than they were before as well....
The only way I kill my battery with regular use is if I go on a long drive using Nav with Satellite and Gas Station layers, b/c I now have latitude also. However, I have other apps that normally start up with the phone that I either set to not start up (twidroid) or else I use the native 'exit application (found three apps, along with twidroid, that now have this - w00t!) that will make a least a small difference - twidroid alone sucks some serious power during the day b/c of my not so optimum settings of checking every 5 or 10 minutes....
TBH, I need a battery with about 4- times the charge as the one that came with the phone....then I wouldn't be so app sensitive....
