I would guess the people I was reffering to would do 75% to 100% of a charge cycle in a day. So a year and a half before reaching 500, yet complaing about battery life after 1 year. I don't think these are very heavy users, yet they complain about battery life.

I think I'm seeing degraded battery life after one year, but it is tough to say, and I'm a light user; I charge my phone every night and it is normally at 80% at the end of the day.
