Does warm EVO equal bad battery life?

[gbh]

Trying to do a poll here of people happy with their battery life, and those unhappy.

I own two EVOs that drain totally differently. These two phones are largely configured with identical settings (per all the things mentioned in various articles to help battery life. And, these two phone have mostly the same apps installed. I have swapped batteries in the two phone (they are different part number), and the bad battery drain DOES NOT follow the battery. One phone drains way faster than the other. I've used ATK on both, and it pretty much had no noticeable difference for me on either. One drains fast (4-6 hours standby), one is fine (all day useage, for the most part).

The fast drain phone is always noticeably warm to the touch. The "good" phone is pretty much never warm to the touch. This includes charging, standby, and use.

Primarily I'd like to hear from people with "warm" phones if they feel they have a battery drain issue, and if people who have "cool" phones ever have a battery drain issue.

I suspect some phones inherently draw more current than others, and I'll probably be bringing one back this week, as I don't think any settings, tweaks, task killers, can fix this issue for me.
