I decided to go back and read about the battery drain problem and from what I could find in the forums, it seems the issue cropped up in firmware releases before the Dec '09 FW as well. In those firmwares, it seems the battery drained during lockscreen because some process was left running when the user locked the screen. I'm figuring some process is perhaps turned on and runs during the lockscreen in the April 2nd FW? That's the only explanation I can think of for the battery draining so quickly on me.
Dear Acreo Aeneus:

I am copying your entire post and sending it to our tech people so they realize that the factory obviously did NOT fix the problem. I apologize for this and I am glad you found the solution. This battery issue with the firmware upgrades seems to be "the snake of 7 heads" and each one comes back to bite me.
