Battery fluctuation??

I'm not even sure if I spelled that right but does anyone else notice their SK2 Battery display and percentage readout change throughout the day? This morning I was at 38% then a half hour later it shot up to 53%. Now it's at 50%... 7 hours later. Mind you I haven't used it much but I've sent probably 6 emails and some browsing. I was worried this morning that it would die on me but now it looks fine. Defect or anomoly?

Yeah the battery is a little weird. At the end of teh day it is always at 3 bars, regardless of heavy use or little use. You would think that I would be able to another day out of it, but when I wake up, it is completely dead. It is recommended in teh manual that the unit is charged nightly so I just do that and I always get through the day with no problems.

Well I get about 2 good days out of it but I don't do any voicecalls with it. I strictly use it as a data device for now and its funny how I keep thinking it will die on me but it somehow stays charged... the lowest percentage I've seen it hit is 20% and even then it still changed to mid 30's later in the day... very weird... but the battery life to me is real good. I'm happy with it overall.
