Installed juicy 2.2, initial impressions are that my reception is much better, i get 2 bars in my basement now where as before i had between 1 and zero, but never 2. Not sure about battery yet but will post when i know more
Update: so far it seems the battery has not improved at all

. After i installed the battery was at 70%, i watched a two minute youtube video over evdo with 3 bars and it dropped to 55%...any ideas anyone?
