Updated FW, battery life even worse...

...or so it seems. I had to recharge my E60 every night even before an update, but it seems that now battery drains even faster. I know that not too many people have this phone, but i was wondering if anyone experienced this issue with any other S60 device. Except for this battery issue everything else works just fine. Also the only bug that i noticed with older FW, where i could not hear call waiting signal when talking on bluetooth headset, is fixed. It's only been few days since i updated it, so it could still be my imagination. I'll have to wait and see.
On a side note, after about 4 months of use, i have to say that E60 is probably one of the most solid S60 devices ever made. Very stable firmware (only restarted once when i first got it and if i recall correctly it was still with the original 1.0 FW). The only bug i ever noticed was that call waiting problem i mentioned earlier, and it's fixed now with FW version 3.0. Top notch build quality, no squeeky plastic or loose keys on the keypad. If only battery life was little better. I guess we can't have it all.
Sorry for the long post.
 
Thanks for your responses guys. I already made sure that network is set to GSM and that phone does not search for WLAN networks. I guess that i should try it with my 6630 battery, and see what happens. I never thought of that cause i started experiencing poor battery life after i updated FW. It could be a coincidence.
 
Do you guys think it's possible that Nokia just made battery meter more accurate, where it's loosing bars more evenly.
Just a thought.
