You have 3G on all the time? This will drain the battery really fast and also heats up the iphone (which will further drain the battery)

Switch off the 3G if you're not using it. Also update to the latest firmware 4.3.3 as it specifically mentions that there is an improvement in battery life with this firmware.

Problem with that is, on EDGE + certain cell towers (especially with Sialcom), data will PREVENT Calls and SMSes from coming in. Heck, the same thing's happening to me on 3G.

Very Verizon, I know.

Not that it matters much. With a proper battery pack/case you should be able to last 2-3 days with normal usage.

I get 1.5 days under heavy use with 3G constantly on (and a whole bunch of battery sucking crap from Cydia) , so no issues here, even when I'm actually running the older 4.2.1.

One thing I've noticed from playing with my friends' IOS devices tho: NOBODY seems to know how to quit apps when they're not using it.

Maybe this is something related to why a lot of people are seeing very bad battery lives? Normal users anyway.
