I'd not think so.  The estimated time remaining varies because your
'recent' power usage varies between checks.  If GSM or wifi start requiring
more power than before to maintain connection, for example, or backlight
usage varies, etc, then the estimate will change according to recent usage.
 (I'm assuming those weren't invoked immediately after one another, but
that some time elapsed between checks - regardless, only the estimated time
is acting in any way unexpectedly - remaining capacity seems to be pretty
consistent and presumably fairly accurate)
