The problem is software, not hardware.
After experiencing the problem many people described on here, I looked through the forum. I noticed right away that the behavior I was having (battery going down ~8% per hour in standby mode) seemed like it was probably software. Then I saw several people on here comment that the Nokia Drive+ Beta seemed to be causing the problem for them, and they could resolve by going to Settings ->Applications -> Background Tasks and blocking it from executing in the background. I tested turning off both that app and The Weather Channel, and it did not appear to be working at first. Then I did a reboot and the problem was immediately fixed.
I'll test unblocking the Weather Channel app from background execution tonight to verify it's not that.
I'm guessing it's the thing so many people are saying, the Nokia Drive+ Beta has some bug and is chewing up power in the background. I'll try to reproduce the issue tomorrow by unblocking and executing it assuming things work fine with the Weather Channel app unblocked tonight.
