I am experiencing some really bad battery performance on mine. I make it about 8 hours, and that's about it. We'll to be honest, I am still playing with it alot however compared to my experiences on past windows mobile phones, this is not holding up. Yes, I do use active sync, however I've managed to mitigate this on past phones. No I'm not expecting miracles, however, I was at least expecting the phone to make it to the end of the day.

Another thing I've noticed (and I dont know if this is related), but the battery meter between Spb plus and the internal system's dont match. However, I'm beginning to wonder whether Spb is the more accurate one. I think the system is not registering the battery life correctly and thus causing everyone to get their unusual and erratic drain. Some have said that they drain the last 50% much faster than the first. I see this too. However spb's readings are rather steady.

Ok, when I plug in the charger, I immediately notice the battery life jump up and it appears to actually charge the device some 30% with the first 1 min. This can't be. this is why I'm thinking there may be some kind of a bug in the way the device registers the li-on battery.

I'm wondering if anyone out there who has dropped in the boxwave battery has noticed different behavior between that and the OEM batttery?

Thoughts?
