I'm on an extended battery and my sprint 9650 barely makes it through the day. I'm so confused.

Could also be that the Qualcomm SOC/RF circuitry they're using that handles the CDMA radio is simply more power efficient, plus these are just theoretical tests..when the device is released, we will know for sure if the CDMA version indeed has better standby time than the GSM version...from my experience, my 9650 gets WAYY better standby time on 2G GSM than CDMA.
Theoretical tests? I'm not 100% sure but I'd imagine these are actually real tests they put them through.
Also, couldn't the same argument be made for how 2G GSM gets better battery than 3G GSM?
You may have won this round, but us GSM users will win the next!
Joking aside, that was pretty much expected.
Not to burst anyones bubbles here, but you realize the difference between 6.6 hours and 6.3 hours is 18 minutes?
you will need to change Carriers Verizon does not have HSPA+
The new chips are made using a smaller silicon process giving a considerable power consumption advantage, so while in use they execute more with less power needed, I suspect the stand by time is in part due to the increased RAM, seeing as power must be maintained to the RAM to keep it active, more RAM means more battery consumption when not in use.
