1. Anyone else notice this: Charge the phone for as long as you want till you're satisfied it's actually 100% charged. I've charged mine for 12+ hours. Make sure the charging lights aren't "breathing" but rather just steadily on. Now that your phone is charged, unplug it from the charger. Within 2-3 minutes, I can watch my battery level go down to 94% or 93%. Then it stays steady there for a while. I've tried this several times with 2 phones and 2 batteries and it's always the same.. what gives?

2. Also, I was at a concert last night so I decided to try using the phone for pics/video. My battery was about 80% walking out of my place. I then used the GPS for about 30 minutes while in the car and then walked in to the show and used pics and video a little bit. About 5-6 minutes of video about 25 pictures later, the battery was down to 17%!!! The phone was on the whole time, no BT, no data, no nothing else. Then I switched the phone radio off and continued to take more pics and video and the battery stayed at 17% forever... Does this mean that phone radio was consuming all the battery and taking pics/video doesn't do anything to the battery at all?

I hate to be so negative, but what good is a device that can do all this but only do it for a few hours at best?
