All I can offer to this thread, is that after I upgraded to the 3.04 Rom.. my Battery life was very good too... but... because I travel alot into different areas, I too have noticed that the better cell signal your phone has the less of a drain it will have, the weaker the cell signal the more it takes out of your battery.. but I also did the battery reg tweak and have been able to get over 12 hours of use and my battery used only 18% of it's full charge leaving me 72% for whatever else needs to be done. for those interested in the Battery tweak here's the info...

(HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery change "PollInterval" from default 5000 to 20000)

.. I don't take credit for this.. someone else does on this forum, but i don't remember whom it is..
