Also curious, what is your tbattery "current" showing. Right now mine jumps between 93 and 143 and it's not plugged in and backlight is around the 50% mark.
Radios are location dependent...so you'll want to experiment. Those current numbers are normal for the device at "rest" - activating your data connection should throw it WAY up. And definitely install Lumos, if you haven't.

Have you let the device die? ...the power indicator will drop form 100-90% pretty fast...then things settle. It's the drop from 90% to 0% that you wanna use to gauge. Or, better still, the time from disconnecting from a charger to the devices death to get a better idea of average battery life.

Hope some of that helps.
