Re: tp battery life

I lose 5% per hour, average charge lasts me 18-22 hours (including work days where I'm 2 floors underground...yay Verizon for having coverage!).

You are correct that the charger makes a difference--the slower your charge your phone, the longer it'll last. The regulation chip in the battery/phone (not sure which) can't do the math correctly when discharging + charging at once unless it's at a low amperage (100mA to 400mA). Most older chargers supply around this, normal USB does 500mA and gives you slightly more battery vs using fastcharge/two USB cables (hard drive cable).
