Not sure if this helps, but remember that Android builds the statistics on battery use on the fly. When it doesn't have history, it basically guesses AFAICT. So it stands to reason that it might not appear to be holding a charge for the first week.

Wow i woke up this morning and the Droid 3 was totally dead. It had 70% battery left when I went to sleep. wireless was off, and it was set to nighttime battery saver mode.

Wierd. Hopefully this doesn't keep up. Not gonna be fun going to work with a dead phone.

I'm having the same problem. I love the phone but I've got to figure something out with this battery. It's being nuked while it's supposed to be on standby.

Looks like it has a lot of glare..? Are you in a car? Mine takes pictures pretty damn good. I'll upload here quick.

But seriously, I've had no issues or qualms about my camera. so far its been beautiful

That Pic looks good to me better then some cheep AA battery digital camera.

Couple more.
This one is indoors, there is a window up behind that couch, and its shaded by white blinds. Still washes out.

Then this one I shaded the lens with my hand, cleared it up quite a bit. Still tho you wouldn't think it would be so sensitive to that.

Have y'all tested the music player to see if it skips and pops like the X2?

Booo to the screen protector.

Accessories complaint: Very much dislike how the "screen protectors" only covers the part of the front where the display is. There is unprotected area at the top, sides and bottom where the buttons are (this last point was the same on the original Droid). Makes it very difficult to position the protector. I understand this might be because of the camera on the front, but my ipod touch protector has a hole there.

I ordered some off ebay that are supposed to be cut to fit entire screen, $4.99 for 5 of them, free shipping also.
