Question Got the OTA Update and...

Not sure if it's just me but I got the OTA update this morning and my battery seems to be lasting a lot longer today. It's usually at around 50-65% at this time of the day. It's still running at 85% with regular email, messaging, and browsing use. And I have 3g enabled! (No GPS though...) Is anyone else noticing this or is it just my imagination?

My battery has been amzing so far.

It lasted at 90% for at least an hour or so.

It's now at 80%
It's doing surprisingly well. I've also had it on airplane mode for pretty much the whole day seeing how I don't get a signal in my building at work anyway.

Will it just show up on my phone, or do I have to do something to get it?

what were you diong when you got the update? Did it just show up on your screen and you said yes or did your reboot your phone?

As for the extra battery life, i hope this is true.

I had the update when I woke up today...took off the charger at about 8am and battery is already down to 69. I've made 3 minute long or so calls, missed about 4 calls and sent/received about 6 texts. No browsing or anything else. So I can't say that my battery seems any better...still seems like its draining faster than any other phone I've ever had.
