Have you drained the battery completely and gave it a full charge? I ran it a week without doing so and I'd charge before sleep to wake up with the battery around 65%. After doing a complete discharge and fully charging the battery, I woke up to the battery being at 95%.

Try that and see if it helps. I think I hit the last 10% of my battery at around 3pm (before fully discharging). I tried everything to kill it (over an hour of talk time, youtube for an hour, games, texting, etc.) and the battery didn't die until around 10pm. It finally shut itself down and after charging it last night, I'm still on a full battery icon (around 95%).

Remember, the North American Diamonds got an upgraded 1340mAh battery. Our European counterparts only got the 900mAh battery. I think someone forgot to adjust and it's just giving us a bad reading from the start.
