Hey all, I've been swapping radios for about a month trying them all. I got good reception on all so I won't bother talking about that. I will instead focus on battery life relative to the other radios. I'll give average battery life left after an 8 hr work day (9 hrs after unplugging from charger). I'm on Sprint on Orange County California, here are my findings.

Stock 1.00.00 = sucked. lol I would be lucky to get 10 or 12 hours on a charge.
25-30% left after 9 hrs, Score 5

vzw 1.03.03v = seemed to have best battery life, but had frequent problems locking touch screen and sending/receiving text messages (I would get messages hours late and "Message not sent" notifications days after I sent the message. DAYS!!). I had no issues with GPS as has been reported, but never used GPS for any extended period of time.
65-70% left after 9 hrs, Score 10 (battery). 7 overall because of problems

Sprint Raph 1.03.15F = Good battery life (not quite as good as vzw but still up there) but no issues.
60-65% left after 9 hrs, Score 9

tellus 1.04.05v = seemed to be a step backward as far as battery life.
40-50% left after 9 hrs, Score 7

So for what it's worth I'm sticking with the Sprint raph 1.03.15F because it's the best battery with no issues.
