Actually, come to think of it... usually the meter shows "full charge" 
constantly, until you actually attempt to *use* the phone. Then the 
meter instantly drops right down to empty. ;-)

As I understand it, it's just very hard to measure how much charge is in 
a battery. If you're not drawing any current, the potential will stay up 
at maximum until the battery is *really* low. The battery's maximum 
current diminishes long before its maximum unloaded potential does...
