For what it's worth, I just went from a stock rom and radio setup to custom last week thx to help from Dan_HTC_Touch walking me through the process...I flashed to Mighty Mike 4.16, which helped battery life a bit, and at first flashed to the US Cellular 1.07.06 radio...I noticed about a 20-30% degradation in battery life, which was shocking...gave it a few days, and switched to the Telus 1.04.05 radio, and it's been a miracle...my battery life went from about 12 hours on the old stock setup, to 16-17 hours, with Flexmail push email on, and regular use on the phone and texts (ie same as I was doing before)...and the Telus radio definitely does not get as hot as the stock radio did...I'm very happy with Mighty Mike and the Telus radio at this point, and no longer have to be concerned about being tethered to a charging cable if I'm going out after work... hope that helps...
