5) last forever at 15% before droping to 5%
6) Lasts average time at 5% before droping to 3%
7) after average amount of time that it! I've never shown below 3%
I've already returned one phone that would not hold a charge! Sprint replaced the battery and it didn't make a difference. The battery would instantly drop to 50%-5% within seconds after full charge then die.
It's obviously a SOFTWARE issue:

Do you remove the charger from the unit as soon as the unit says "full charge" or are you talking about in the morning when you get up after a nights charge? It only takes 2 hours to charge to full. So if you sleep 8 ours, it was Full charge the first 2 hours and then started using the battery charge for the next 6 hours. so if you remove the charger after 8 hours of charging, it "should" drop to 80-90% for the 6 hours the units was on it's battery. Once the charging reaches "full charge" it stops charging.
Makes sense? Hope so.
Also any pull/push, facebook, ebuddy, chat program you have on the unit will eat up battery really quickly.
Many widgets on your home screens also eat up battery.
Especially those that update themselves every 2-5-10-30 mins.
All the apps you install that do stuff in the background will use up your battery extensively.
Battery widgets that poll consistently will eat up your battery.
There are tips and tricks (settings) that will help you prolong your battery life in the other unit forums that work for most Android phones, as well as ours.
After a few weeks, my phone holds up nicely. especially now that my initial trying everything out on the phone phase is calming down back to normal usage.
