Update: 10:36AM and still at 100%. This has literally never happened (1 hour and no loss of % on the display).
That's starting to sound more like an improper reading.

How do you get the exact battery level? Is it in the settings somewhere?
Battery rain dance! This made me LOL. Just sayinI agree. And unless someone has tested each step individually, it's probably not doing anything useful for your phone.
I turn mine off to charge when I go to sleep at night (I realize this is not an option for some people). That has greatly improved my batter life. I'm not doing this battery rain dance everyone's going on about.
the 1 hour and 3 minute uptime means you are barely even touching the phone though. i have awake time of 2:34 since last night and that really isnt all that much use, not even moderate really.
Update:
What's used battery:
44% Cell standby
43% Phone idle
7% Android system
4% Voice calls
2% Display
mr88, I can't really answer the question, however, my phone was high after setup until I rebooted it and then the android sytem usage went down (to like 2%). Now yesterday I ran it down until the phone wouldn't even turn on, charged it up and turned it back on and now my andriod usage is at like 92%.
I think it has something to do with the time it starts measuring usage. If it happens soon enough, it catches all the usage as the phone boots, if it happens later it only catches some or very little. At least thats my guess anyways.
I wished I had my regular DROID back!! I work 12 hr. shifts at night and at least the Droid lasted the whole shift at work. I've got the new INCREDIBLE DROID. I like it except for the battery won't last more that about 7 hrs. at work! This is pitiful. Why couldn't the engineers put in a battery like they did the Droid?? I like the lightness, and the text messaging on the INCREDIBLE DROID but the battery SUX. I wished I had never ordered this incredible.
Because they want us all to shell out $60 for the extended battery. Sadly, I'm in the same boat as you and I now have to keep the phone plugged in at all times now in case I end up away from an outlet for an extended period of time. I'm not happy about it but I am anxiously awaiting the VZW extended battery because I need it to get through a full day.

Thoughts? Extended battery is in my future, I think...
