So ya the new phone has the same issue.
I got excited for a while but then it dropped really quick and it is at 1/4 after taking it off the charger at 3pm and its 730.
And I got a new SIM.

BUT I think you might be right Onutz, I think when I was running around getting the SIM and showing the phone off at the (TMo store lol) and was excited about the battery looking better it was because I had better coverage. maybe. Then when I got home (where signal is not so good) that is when the battery started to drain quickly.
Now my old phones never had the same issue but both N900s did.
Hmmm, so do I sit and pray for a fix in the next OTA update?
