Hey,
I am getting rather ticked off with my new 3G S. So far, I am disapointed with it's battery life. I have brightness at 40%, push off, and location services off, and my usage is at 2 hours 35 minutes, with standby at 17 hours. The battery is already at 36%!?!? WTF? Is this normal?
 
I've had similar experiences. I feel as if I am having to charge my iphone on a daily basis.

Anyone else?
 
I've had my 3GS for over a week now and noticed the battery life is a bit better than the 3G.

My 3G would die everynight (during the week), most times it would be almost dead around 10-11pm.

My 3GS will still have above 20% before midnight, but when I get up in the morning, its about 5-8%.
 
It seems like my battery shows a "not full" charge after about 1 hour of being off of the charger.
