Has anyone noticed longer battery life after the update? Usually my battery is at 20% by late afternoon and I always have to put it on the charger to get through the day. It's 9 PM now and my battery stands at 40% and hasn't needed charging at all. This is the regular battery, by the way. Could it be??

I will have to pay closer attention tomorrow.
I did the update this morning and when I got to work. After it was done, I popped the phone on the charge because the update knocked me from a full charge down to 60%.
I attribute the power drain to I work in a Steel Mill and I am surrounded by metal and concrete. Its hard for the cell radio signal to get through to the outside.
Tomorrow I will resist charging to the phone and see how the phone does on a 10 hour work day.

It's hard to say here, I've spent a lot more time than usual playing with the phone and various features. Maybe I can leave it alone tomorrow and get a better idea of the battery life after 2.2...or whatever we are calling it now...

Yep .. me too .... Also, it seems less hot to the touch ... unless I am playing a lot of Video; which it heats up pretty fast. But unless I am playing a lot of Video, the battery life seems longer.

My battery life has not changed that much, but I changed the batter manager settings for performance.
I also listen to internet radio all day long (well most of the day)... so I have it on the charger sometime before noon, for most of the afternoon. If I have a meeting late morning, I have it on the charger before mid morning so I can make sure that I have no problems with battery power during the meeting.
I also have been hlooking at the display more than usual during the past 2 days to check out my apps that I have on it to make sure that when I want to use the apps, they actually work. with Froyo.

Mine seems a little better but should have a more solid idea in the couple of days.
